We started our day extemely early for our liking.. lol Today was the day we were going to see most of Rio. Our tour started at 9 in the morning and I can't remember if we were excited or half asleep! Eddie and our Mexican friends joined us for the tour, that guaranteed us a really great time.
Our first stop was "Cristo Redentor", which I've been wanting to see since I was a little girl. The road to get there reminded me so much of Puerto Rico's country. Once we got there, our adventure really began!
Can you believe this beauty? I can't belive someone created this amazing monument..
It wasn't that crowded but it was extremely hard to take good pictures but we figured it out anyways!
The view was spectacular and you could see Maracana, Sugarloaf, Copacabana.. practically all Rio!
Our next stop was Maracana!!! I was extremely excited but I knew we couldn't go in..
At this point we started to get really tired and we were only half way through our tour!
Our next stop was the "Sambodromo" (where the Carnaval is held) and Rio's Cathedral..
The inside was beautiful but my favorite part was the cross on the roof uniting all the sides of the Church..
We got really happy when it was time to eat! The restaurant was a buffet so we eat everything we wanted! :)
The last stop in our tour was Sugarloaf! This time the sky was super clear and we were able to see everything!
Before leaving Sugarloaf, we signed the book to make our visit official! :)
We had a great time spending time with everyone on the tour. Let me tell you, our tour guide was the best ever! She answered every question we had and even found us things we were looking for..
Tomorrow we're going to "Arcos da Lapa" and "Escadaria Selaron"..
Love,
Mayte
