Visiting Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world, and no visit to this bustling metropolis would be complete without a trip to the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue. This stunning monument is located on top of Corcovado Mountain, which towers over the city at a height of 710 meters above sea level. And oh yes, like the picture above: it is a tourist hotspot!

South America Trip Day 37 & 38: Relaxing at Rio de Janeiro + end of our trip

Day 37:
After waking up late in our comfy bed, we went for a look out to brunch before a beach day.

We found this buffet where you pay per 100 gram, they had a lot of locals eating there and local dishes, so we gave it a shot. Was good!

After that we went to the beach in front of our hotel, we have an hotel at Copacabana beach for a reason.

We rented two chairs and an umbrella (all 10 real per piece for the day) and drank a few Caipirinhas for 10 per piece. They sell everything on the beach, fresh shrimp, drinks, towels, massages, heck even barbecue in front of you or make you a fresh cocktail!

After a few hours we headed back because the sun was gone, to the 15th floor of our hotel. Roof top pool with amazing view over the beach!
After shower we went to another local food place to have a meal for 14 reals, which was tasty. We headed back to the boulevard. Sam braided her hair, and we found a beach bar with an amazing live act. Guy with a guitar singing all the classics. After that the music went similar to our latin playlist with three dancers getting everyone to move. Great vibe! Got the love the vibrant boulevard of Copacabana!


Day 38:
Last day of our trip sadly. But flight is at 10 pm so a whole day of relaxing is still on the tab. After a few hours of beach and swimming pool we took our flight back to Amsterdam :-(.
