   • Join the jubilant crowds on Copacabana Beach. A magnificent confluence of land and sea, the long, scalloped beach of Copacabana extends for some 4km (2.5 miles), with a flurry of activity along its length: over-amped soccer players singing their team's anthem; Cariocas (Rio residents) and tourists lining up for caipirinhas (cocktails made from limes, sugar, ice and high-proof sugarcane alcohol) at kiosks; kids showing off their soccer skills; and beach vendors shouting out their wares among the tanned beach bodies.
   • Take in the views from Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar) Seen from the peak of Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar), Rio is undoubtedly a Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City).
   • Experience vibrant subcultures on Ipanema Beach. One long stretch of sun-drenched sand, Ipanema Beach is demarcated by postos (posts), which mark off subcultures as diverse as the city itself.
   • Get up close to Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) Standing atop Corcovado (which means "hunchback") at 38m (125ft) tall, the open-armed Cristo Redentor gazes out over Rio, a placid expression on his well-crafted face.
