Most people now take the new escalators from the end Trem station to the the base of the statue, but the brave ones take the stairs.Here is one of the brave ones. Look at the beautiful dense forrest on the back side of Corcovado.
There are several gift shops, a snack shop and a restaurant on the way up. Sitting out on the terrace at the restaurant (yellow umbrellas in background) with a caipirinha and looking out over all of Rio is one of the best things in the world to do.Here we are with a few of our closest friends. Everyone wants their picture taken on these steps.
Extreme close-up!
A hanglider buzzed us, gliding by silently, catching updrafts that eventually took him higher than us. Crazy fool! It looked very scary from here, but I still want to try it.
