The best view of Rio de Janeiro

The trail from Parque Lage to Corcovado is demanding, with steep and humid sections, but reaching Christ the Redeemer through the forest is unforgettable. The path goes through ruins, streams and native forest. The guide was helpful and kept a pace that worked well for everyone.
