LJ user zyalt writes: Today I want to show you in Rio de Janeiro, the second largest (after Sao Paulo) city of Brazil. City of semi-official nickname "Marvelous City". In Rio, I flew in the morning and left the same evening. Unfortunately, most of the day was rain, so plainly see the city did not happen. A Rio must look to the good weather, because the best views are from the mountains surrounding the city.

I'll start with impressions lovigin: «In Rio, a wheeler-dealer has decided to commit suicide, has sold the hacienda, bought helium balloons and accidentally flew into the sky. In another part of Rio, in the bosom of the statue of Christ, of flying the aircraft also had the chance cow - fell on the boat and killed to death sitting in her little girl. Truly death comes sometimes from the most unusual places.

These stories tell us thickish Carolina, which is why the bride was assigned to us as a guide. He hired a couple of armored personnel carriers and six gunners, we rushed to the favela. My mom thinks it's a restaurant, but none of the favelas and never went back to the camera, wallet and Caroline, especially if served there without all this. Only here is whether favelas were some wrong, then I too kind - but the pictures I got some very scary and mimimi. None of the prevailing tension which usually hovers in the air at each more or less blighted intersection in Brazil. Maybe because the local shkidtsy gone wield in other areas. We went through all the favela of Santa Marta from the top, from the top of the hill to the bottom, and only one block of "protection" advised not to take photographs of people we meet ... "

March 4, 1974 the bridge was opened, he was named in honor of Arthur da Costa e Silva, former President of Brazil, initiated the construction, but who could not meet until its completion. The bridge is the longest and highest in the country. Its length - 13 290 m, including the water - 8836 m. The height of the center - 72 m, which allows large ships to enter the bay. Today on the bridge travels about 140 thousand vehicles.

Federal authorities in the affairs of practically the favelas do not interfere. Most favelas standard of living is very low, often there are no basic amenities, schools, hospitals, etc., and as a consequence of all this, it is extremely unfortunate and a terrible crime situation sanitary condition. Walking on such areas is not recommended, because you can lose all the valuable and very fast. But in many favelas residents spend money for trips. We went through all the favela of Santa Marta from the top, from the top of the hill to the bottom, and only one block of "protection" advised not to take photographs of people we meet ...
