Rio de Janeiro is one of the most magnificent cities in the world. We finished out tour with two nights at the Arena Hotel, smack dab in the middle of Copacabana Beach. We had a full-day tour, which included the cable car ride up to the top of Sugar Loaf and the funicular ride up to Corcovado and the Christ the Redeemer Statue. What a great end to an exciting tour.
This is the view of Copacabana Beach from the top of our hotel by the swimming pool and bar!
