Rio de Janeiro
SOUTH AMERICA · FIESTA · CIDADE MARAVILHOSA
Granite peaks, mile-long beaches and a city that treats music as infrastructure.
The plan
Sugarloaf at sunset
Two cable cars up; watch the city switch its lights on across the bay.
Christ early or late
First gondola beats the crowds and the haze — the view owns you either way.
Copacabana mornings
Runners, altinha circles and coconut water at the kiosks before the sun bites.
Samba in Lapa
Under the white arches, whole streets become dancefloors Friday and Saturday.
Pedra do Arpoador dusk
The rock between Copacabana and Ipanema — the beach applauds the sunset. Really.
