Assouline Travel Book Rio De Janeiro

With arms outstretched, gaze slightly downward, covered in millions of soapstone tiles and placed atop a pedestal, Christ the Redeemer watches over Rio de Janeiro from his perch on Corcovado.

With Brazil's Guanabara Bay in the distance, the statue keeps an eye on the fabulous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. Passionate, dynamic, colorful, Rio is a city that overflows with joy of living.

This energy is palpable during the many celebrations and events that have taken place in the city, including the Summer Olympics, two World Cups, Carnival and much more. Rio de Janeiro is home to the expressive samba dance, which perfectly embodies the fast rhythms of the city.
