Famous Landmarks
Christ the Redeemer
-22.9068°N, 43.1729°W
Christ the Redeemer, inaugurated in 1931 atop Corcovado mountain at 710 metres elevation, is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This 30-metre Art Deco statue of reinforced concrete and soapstone, designed by engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and sculptor Paul Landowski, opens its arms over Guanabara Bay and the vastness of Rio.
Sugarloaf Mountain
-22.9068°N, 43.1729°W
Sugarloaf Mountain, a 396-metre granite peak rising from the mouth of Guanabara Bay, is one of the world's most recognizable landscapes. Accessible by cable car since 1912, it offers 360-degree views over Rio — from Corcovado to the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema — especially at sunset.
Copacabana Beach
-22.9068°N, 43.1729°W
Copacabana Beach, a 4-kilometre crescent of sand, is one of the most famous beaches on Earth. Its undulating Portuguese stone mosaic boardwalk, designed by Roberto Burle Marx, has become a symbol of Rio. A place of celebration, sport, and contemplation, Copacabana embodies the Carioca soul.
Why gift a star map of Rio de Janeiro?
Gifting a star map of Rio de Janeiro means capturing the magic of a night where Christ the Redeemer gazes at the stars from atop Corcovado. Between Sugarloaf and the shimmering beaches, the Carioca sky reveals the Southern Cross and southern constellations invisible from Europe. A gift as majestic and unforgettable as the Cidade Maravilhosa itself.
The sky of Rio de Janeiro
At 22.9° south latitude, Rio de Janeiro enjoys a tropical sky offering spectacular views of Southern Hemisphere constellations. The Southern Cross shines above Corcovado while the Magellanic Clouds appear on the clearest nights. The city's morros provide natural observation points elevated above the maritime haze.
