Day 47 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

What an amazing day!!!!  It was back to Mt. Corcovado to see the statue of Christ the Redeemer and on to Sugarloaf.  The big difference, clearer skies and…. a helicopter ride over Rio.  It was an incredible experience.  What a way to top off my first visit to Rio…..  Next visit, back in the air!

  2. Use your imagination a bit and photo #41 looks like a mudslide of favelas cascading down the mountain.

  4. Jeff: unbelievable pics. The best ever of Rio I have ever seen. As Jennie said it does bring back some wonderful memories for me too from our 2010 two day stay there.

    Well done Jeff.

  5. You have an amazing eye for photography. I thought the same thing about photo #41 as HappyCruiser. Pretty cool.

  6. Wow!! Fantastic pics. Are you going to do anymore helicopter side trips? Seeing things from the air really does let you see just how big Rio really is (and really glad I don't live there) and how packed in everything is.
