Rio de Janeiro is a huge seaside city in Brazil, famed for its Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, 38m Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mount Corcovado and for Sugarloaf Mountain, a granite peak with cable cars to its summit. The city is also known for its sprawling favelas (shanty towns). Its raucous Carnaval festival, featuring parade floats, flamboyant costumes and samba dancers, is considered the world’s largest.
Buenos Aires is Argentina’s big, cosmopolitan capital city. Its center is the Plaza de Mayo, lined with stately 19th-century buildings including Casa Rosada, the iconic, balconied presidential palace. Other major attractions include Teatro Colón, a grand 1908 opera house with nearly 2,500 seats, and the modern MALBA museum, displaying Latin American art.
Rio de fé (2013)
A documentary about the World Youth Day held in Rio de Janeiro from 23 to 28 July 2013 gathering nearly 3.7 million young people from all over the world. This event was the first Pope Francisco's trip abroad since assuming the papacy in March of the same year. The film shows the confluence between the Marvelous City of Rio de Janeiro and the message conveyed through the Christian faith. It lists similarities and deepens specificities through the eyes of five thematic strands: the Church, the Pilgrim, the City, the Favela and Other Religions.
