Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is is made up of warm beaches, spectacular mountains, and its vibrant Tijuca Forest.

When you reach the top of the mountain, you'll be able to photograph the statue of Jesus and the scenic view of the city. Brazil's Botanical Garden is a scientific arboretum. The landscape is made up of a plethora of shaped leaves, plants, and colorful flowers. Floras, pergolas, arbors, and vines decorate the arboretum walls.
