This is a nice attraction but it is hard to believe it is number 1 in Rio. Yes, the view is excellent as long as it is a clear day. On a hazy or polluted day it is not so sparkling. And remember, part of what you are seeing are Rio's favelas which make you realize that for what you... more

As someone who was born in Rio de Janeiro and is now living in Michigan, I would say... I MISS THAT VIEW!!!
