Pão de Açúcar - Staying in Rio de Janeiro, this is another must-see in the amazing tropical city in South America. Take the ride up to the top of the geological oddity that looks like its namesake: a sugar bread. Up there, the view is as spectacular as in the Cristo Redentor, even though it's smaller.
Take picture and buy souvenirs while you're up there, you won't regret it.
Cristo Redentor - Located in beautiful Rio de Janeiro, this is one of the landmarks of the modern world. Any tourist in Brazil should be required to visit this monument. Standing far above the city and peering at its denizens, the view offered by taking the ride up the slopes of the small mountain can only be matched by the amazing climate and people of this South American city.
While up there, take the chance on the local drinks and if you're lucky, animals may even come out to play with you (but mostly to take your food!).
