Day 19 of our World cruise.  January 22, 2025

Today is our second day in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  We had an all day 4x4 vehicle excursion through the Tijuca Forest, the largest urban forest in the world.  Then up Corcovado hill to the Christ the Redeemer statue, and then on to Copacabana Beach.  The vehicles were open 4x4 Jeep type with benches to sit on in the rear bed area. The ride through the urban forest was adventurous and scenic.  Once at the top of Corcovado hill by the statue, we had to  transfer into park vehicles then up two escalators, and an elevator before we were finally at the statue. It was breathtaking. Here are some pics:

Look close at the pic below and you will see the famous Maracana Stadium, where the Brazilian soccer team plays.
