Rio de Janeiro is without doubt the most mesmerizing city of South America. The city is famous for its beaches Copacabana and Ipanema, for the giant Jesus statue known as "Cristo Redentor" (Christ the Redeemer) on the Corcovado mountain, for the Sugar Loaf mountain and... Carnival. My picture, taken from Sugar Loaf mountain, shows a spectacular sunset above Guanabara Bay, considered to be a wonder of nature.

It was reached by Portuguese explorers in an expedition led by Italian Amerigo Vespucci in January of 1501. Since the
Europeans thought at first the Bay of Guanabara was actually the mouth of a river.

Made by D.G.A Productions
They called it "Rio de Janeiro" (meaning "River of January" in Portuguese).
