Rio de Janeiro’s spectacular harbour is dominated by the famous rocky outcrop Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf) and further up, the Corcovado (Hunchback) peak, rising 709m (2326ft) above the Baia de Guanabara and providing the focal point for the classic Rio landscape. The Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) statue stands on top of the Corcovado peak which is located within the Parcque Nacional da Tijuca – it is accessible by cog train (leaving from the Rua Cosme Velho). From the top, there are magnificent views, particularly from the right side. Rio’s other landmarks are its numerous beaches, most notably the Copacabana and Ipanema. Beach life is a ritual in Brazil and different beach sections reflect different ways of life and fashions. Rio also has several interesting museums, including the Museu Historico Nacional, the Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro, the Museu de Arte Contemporanea de Niteroi and the Museu da Republica.
