TripAdvisor Review
★★★★☆ 4/5
"The view from Christ the Redeemer is genuinely life-changing, I cried a little, no shame. Then I went back to Copacabana and had my sunglasses lifted off my face in about four seconds flat, so, balance restored. The traffic on the way to Barra took longer than my actual flight from Miami. Still gorgeous, still coming back, just holding my bag tighter next time."— Craig_Sunburnt, Orlando FL
