NOT RECOMMEND TO PURCHASE THE TICKET FROM TRIP.COM as the original train ticket is only cost BRL128 while trip.com is cost much more expensive. Attached photo with price in SGD.
It is worth visiting. As a symbol of Brazil and even South America, the Christ Statue carries a strong religious and colonial history. It was built in 1931 and witnessed Brazil's transformation from a conservative society to a modern country. It is also the second wonder of the world. I look forward to visiting it next time...

looks great! one of the most beautiful places in São Paulo. If you will be there, you should visit this São Paulo cathedral
Beautiful place! Well worth a visit! There is a guided tour of the church for $60 (if you watch the time) and the crypt for $12, both well worth it! There is a small shop inside with some souvenirs.

On the last day in Rio, I refused to go shopping with my parents and took my brother to the beach to play. Hotel ⑨Emiliano Rio is right by the sea, and we walked along the coast, stepping on the waves. My brother made friends with local kids, and we had a lot of fun even though we didn’t speak the same language. The two of them had a wonderful conversation in English and Portuguese, nodding and handshaking vigorously even though we couldn’t understand each other, and I laughed my ass off watching them. It was close to Christmas when we went there, and there was a “Santa Claus” selling alcohol walking back and forth on the beach, selling Brazilian sugarcane wine and various beers. He was really a Santa Claus for adults (me).

We had a truly amazing time at Iguacu National Park. The park is well organized, the staff are friendly and the routes are well maintained. There is a great lookout point where you are right above some of the falls and you get completely wet! This was one of those experiences that will flash before my eyes just before I die.
The entire Iguazu National Park is surrounded by the world's widest waterfall, Iguazu Falls, and straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil.
In addition to being able to see the Iguazu Falls, this place is also a paradise for wild animals, the most common of which is the civet cat. However, this cute little thing actually belongs to the category of wild animals, and people are often injured, so it is not recommended to approach it.
There are several ways to see the falls in Iguazu: walk in and walk along the plank road to the place closest to the Devil's Throat; take a boat to approach the falls from the Iguazu River, but the distance is a little far; take a helicopter in the park to see the entire Iguazu Falls and the surrounding Amazon rainforest from the air.

Walk canopy bridge & view rainforest
6-million-square-mile rainforest
Verified User Reviews
The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world, larger than Europe, at 7 million square kilometers. Stretching from the lower slopes of the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic coast of Brazil, the Amazon rainforest is vital to the health of the world and all the living things that live in it. The trees absorb carbon dioxide, a gas that in large quantities warms the planet and harms the climate, melting the polar ice caps and causing floods. Trees also produce oxygen, which is essential for human and all animal life. Some rainforest trees grow extremely tall, reaching more than 60 meters. Their leaves form a "canopy" like an umbrella that blocks out the light, so that few short plants grow under the trees.
Arrange tourists to explore the Iquitos rainforest. There is a kind of tourists called "disconnected and high". There are 10,000 questions before departure, and they lost contact after departure... It has been confirmed that they had a high time in the rainforest! They also saw beautiful pink dolphins up close! You are lucky ⚠️Remind tourists going to the Amazon rainforest that there is usually only a signal in the hotel lobby, and the hotel goes deep into the rainforest to supply power. The mobile network devices you carry with you are not very useful! Then enjoy this short vacation time! Say goodbye to the Internet and return to nature. It is recommended that three days and two nights in the Amazon are enough (a few more days is also to visit different tributaries, but it does not necessarily mean that you can see more animals if you play for a few more days. It is better to come at the right time than to come for a long time. This is the ecological charm of Amazon's nature.) We will arrange tourists to participate in the project led by professional Amazon tour guides to cruise to see animals, spiders, caimans, snakes, sloths, and various birds. Night hiking, fishing for piranhas and other personal experience activities in nature!

Kudzu vines, orchids, and bromeliads cling to the high branches, and monkeys, sloths, hummingbirds, macaws, giant butterflies, and countless bats live there. In the water live caimans, freshwater turtles, and aquatic mammals such as manatees and freshwater dolphins. On land live jaguars, slender-waisted cats, tapirs, capybaras, armadillos, and more. There are also 2,500 species of fish and more than 1,600 species of birds.
The Amazon River is the second longest river in the world and the river with the largest flow in the world. Its flow rate reaches 219,000 cubic meters per second, which is several times larger than the combined flow of the other three major rivers: the Nile River (Africa), the Yangtze River (China), and the Mississippi River (USA). It is approximately equivalent to the flow of seven Yangtze Rivers and accounts for 20% of the world's river flow. Its basin area reaches 6.915 million square kilometers, accounting for 40% of the total area of South America. It has more than 15,000 tributaries.

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’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’re queuing for about 30 minutes! And this was on a Tuesday in July; I can’t imagine what it’s like on the weekend. Anyway, the pictures show that it was definitely worth the effort:)
Brazil Sugar Loaf Mountain is very close to the city. It is a mountain very close to the city. It is especially suitable for daily exercise or strolling on the mountain when you have nothing to do. Because the shape of this mountain is particularly like a kind of utensil candy, it is named Sugar Loaf Mountain.

The Brazilian Pioneer Sculpture Group is also very unique, and the entire sculpture environment is also very special. When you visit here, you can see a huge group of white sculptures. They are all from very early historical periods. Brazilian explorers came here to prove that they are of great historical value.
Designed by Victor Brecheret, the Monumento de los Bandeiras sits at one of the entrances to São Paulo's Ibirapuera Park. Commissioned by the city and completed in 1954, it depicts the struggles and triumphs of colonial Brazil's interior in the 17th century through massive blocks of granite and a heroic socialist realist style. Nonetheless, the scale, nobility, and diversity of the settlers are awe-inspiring. Ideas about the less pleasant aspects of colonial expansion came later. Definitely worth a stop on the way in and out of the park.

Batman’s alley is a great place for people who are looking for cool shots. Perfect for those who like street art. The invite new artists from time to time and now there’s even a mural dedicated to The Boys!
Batman Alley is a typical Brazilian graffiti-style art street. There are many exquisite contents on the walls on both sides of the street. The alley is also quite wide, and the paintings of different styles are also very good art displays.

This Stairway Church is very famous in the local area, and it is worth visiting for people who come from far away to visit. When we went there, several couples held their weddings here, which felt particularly dreamy and sacred.
