Brazil - Rio de Janeiro: Carioca Landscapes between the Mountain and the Sea

"The listed site consists of an exceptional urban setting rather than built heritage. It encompasses the key natural elements that have shaped and inspired the development of the city: from the highest points of the Tijuca National Park’s mountains down to the sea. They also include the Botanical Gardens, established in 1808, Corcovado Mountain with its celebrated statue of Christ and the hills around Guanabara Bay, including the extensive designed landscapes along Copacabana Bay which have contributed to the outdoor living culture of this spectacular city. Rio de Janeiro is also recognized for the artistic inspiration it has provided to musicians, landscapers and urbanists. - Tijuca Forest, Pretos Forros and Covanca – Tijuca National Park - Pedra Bonita and Pedra da Gávea - Tijuca National Park - Carioca Mountaion range - Tijuca National Park and Botanic Gardens - Mouth of Guanabara Bay and Manmade Shorelines – Flamengo Park, Historic Forts of Niterói, Sugar Loaf Natural Monument Copacabana Seafront"
