Wow! What an amazing place! Today we hiked up to the top of Morro da Urca mountain which is the peak near and under Sugarloaf (Pão de açúcar), the most famous peak in the Rio skyline. In the distance in the picture above you can see the Cristo Redentor (the redeemer) statue. The views from up here are amazing and the breeze from the sea feels so good! There are some wild macaque monkeys on the top which are like our chipmunks back home: very curious and all too willing to take food from humans.
It is still hot here even though its officially winter. The beach was packed this morning with people just enjoying life here. It is hard not to! See all our pictures here
