Brazil's Best Attractions
Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the landmarks worth the entry fee.
The essentials, both in Rio: Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado (around $30–35, book a morning slot and check the weather webcam first — clouds are the single biggest risk to the visit) and Sugarloaf Mountain's two-stage cable car (around $35, best around sunset). Add the colorful Selarón Steps and, for football fans, a Maracanã Stadium tour. Arrive early at both mountains to beat both weather and tour-bus crowds.
Rio has two of the most photographed viewpoints on Earth, and both come with the same warning nobody puts on the postcard: cloud cover can wipe out the whole visit with zero refund. Here's the honest version — what's worth it, what to skip, and the timing trick that saves the trip.
