Rio de Janeiro, city in the midst of tropical paradise. (View from the mountain road to the Corcovado.)

Another panoramic view from the same mountain road, leading through dense jungle.

Rio de Janeiro is undoubtedly the world's most beautiful large city in terms of landscape.

I visited Rio de Janeiro in August 2007.
