Magnificent beaches, beauties swaying their hips, saying "Ola", modern cafes with signature cocktails - that's what hot Brazil is.
Botanical Garden. There is a lot of interesting things in this garden. Firstly, the territory resembles a tropical jungle, and secondly, monkeys and rare species of birds live here. There is a lake in the garden, on which large lilies float. There are also over 8000 cacti and a separate garden with plants that feed on insects. Such beauty should not be overlooked.
Rio de Janeiro Zoo. There are many species of animals from the Amazon. The animals are housed behind long hedges to give the impression of being free. In addition to animals, there are many birds in the zoo, including toucans. The territory of the zoo is not huge, but it is very beautiful here and greenery and palm trees grow all around. And if you are not going to the jungle anytime soon, then you have a chance to see all the inhabitants of this zoo.
Hippodrome. From it you can view the mountains of Brazil, and if you do not understand how to place bets, they will explain and tell you everything right here. Take a closer look at which horse the majority of the audience is betting, and do the same - you will not go wrong. The arena of the hippodrome is already a hundred years old, but it has already lost its former glory.
Mount Corcovado. At its top there is a statue of Christ the Savior. A ticket to the mountain is paid, but available to everyone, so you should climb to the foot of the statue and see what panorama opens from there. True, to be on the mountain, you need to be patient, because the path ahead is more than 220 steps. But if you don't want to spend physical strength, you can get on the escalator and look at the monkeys along the way.
Mountain Sugarloaf. It is, of course, not as high as Corcovado, but you can get to it by funicular. You will be able to see the city from above and it will take your breath away. The funicular can be reached by local bus, see that it says Urca.
