Rio de Janeiro is a huge coastal city in Brazil, famous for its Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, the 38m-high statue of Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Hill and Sugarloaf Mountain, a granite peak with cable cars ascending to its peak. The city is also known for its extensive favelas. The raucous Carnival festival, with float parades, extravagant costumes and samba dancers, is considered the largest in the world.
