The main sites on the tour schedule are Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redenter) and Corcovado Mountain, Sugar Loaf Mountain, Ipanema and Copacabana beaches so, on the day of arrival, I plan to see as much as I can of other sites. It may run over to the afternoon of the next day, but I have to try. The churches/cathedrals listed below are so ornate I can't pass them up and it's only a fraction of what's there. The online photographs are jaw dropping.
