Vibe: Panoramic belvedere, best at sunrise

A railed belvedere high on the Dona Marta hill with the postcard angle of Corcovado above and Botafogo bay below. There is room to set up a tripod off to the side and it is open before the Christ statue queues build. Helicopters pass, so time your audio.

Pros

+Christ and Sugarloaf in one frame
+Easy van or car access
+Calm early morning

Cons

–Fills with tour vans midday
–Drone rules near the statue are tight
