Our tour guide yesterday swore that this overlook in Tijuca National Park is the best view of Rio, better than Sugar Loaf or Christ the Redeemer. I haven't seen the other views yet, but this one was quite impressive even on a gray day.
It's called the Vista Chinesa as a tribute to the Chinese workers who came to Brazil when tea started to be grown here. There's a small pagoda, but honestly I barely noticed it once I saw the view. The water between the trees and the mountains is a lagoon that lies in the middle of the city. Copacabana, where I'm staying, is on the other side of the big mountain.
