It is worth going. As a symbol of Brazil and even South America, the statue of Christ carries a strong religious and colonial history. It was built in 1931 and witnessed Brazil&#39;s transformation from a conservative society to a modern country. It is also the second-largest world miracle. I look forward to going to ...... next time.

Sugarloaf Mountain is a must-visit site in Rio. We went on a Monday at 16:00, thinking we would make it up in time for sunset at 17:30. The queue was so long that the attendants just laughed when we asked for an estimate. We went to the beach instead, then prebooked tickets on CTrip for the next day. The process of using the tickets was a bit confusing. When we arrived at the cable station at 15:00 we were told to go to the reception desk to have our proof of booking printed out. A kind lady at reception helped us do this luckily, but it was a bit confusing due to the language barrier. After we&rsquo;d printed the proof we had to go to another window to collect our physical ticket and were then allowed to join the queue to board the cable car quite far ahead of the back of the line - so even though the process was confusing, booking online definitely helped. This is the one occasion where I would say that paying extra to skip the queue is really worth it!!! The Sugar Loaf cable car ride is actually divided into two separate segments. This means that you queue to get tickets, queue to board the first cable car, queue to board the second cable car, and then queue twice more to go back down - and each time you&rsquo;re queuing for about 30 minutes! And this was on a Tuesday in July; I can&rsquo;t imagine what it&rsquo;s like on the weekend. Anyway, the pictures show that it was definitely worth the effort:)

Rio de Janeiro Cathedral

This ladder church is still very famous in the local area, and it is worth visiting with people who are very far away. When we went there, several couples held weddings here, and it felt special dreamy and sacred.
