I just came back from Rio and I believe in giving feedback that might help others. Packerbkr 's tips (the post before mine) in getting to the 2 main Rio attractions are great. For me, safety is primary though, which is why I picked a beachfront hotel in Ipanema. From my hotel, it was around $9 USD for a cab... more

The #1 attraction I wanted to see in Rio was the Statue of Christ the Redeemer. I stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Rio. They provided a free shuttle to several different shopping locations free of charge. The last shopping stop was Rio Sul. This was a perfect location for me to go off from. The Sugar Loaf Mountain is... more

Cristo Redentor, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World is a must see when visiting Rio de Janeiro for the first time. Make sure you schedule your visit on a clear day and take a taxi to Cosme Vehlo train station where you can take the 20 minute cogwheel train up the mountain for R$36 round trip. If... more

The road to Christ the Redeemer is steep and winding. If you hire a taxi, they'll drop you at the tourist info center and you'll only have to walk a short way, take two escalators and one elevator to get to the base of it. Seriously, lay on your back in front of the statue for the best photo opps. more

The ride up took about 20 min. We then had to walk up a set of stairs to this very impressive statue. We stayed there for... more

I was there in Feb. of this year and I must say it was the most exciting part of my trip. The statue is beautiful, the view is amazing. It was very spiritual for me. The staff there are very polite and most can speak some English. Lovely little gift shoppe there where you can buy nice prayer beads, ornaments,... more
