South America, Brazil, Rio De Janeiro

Rio De Janeiro, known to most as Rio, has always been in my top 50 must visit locations, with Christ the Redeemer being the most recognised landmark and one of the new 7 wonders of the world. Trams play an important part of the public infrastructure with the Santa Teresa Tram Bridge being very noteworthy of a visit and a few clicks of your camera.
