Hello @Helen427
Arraial do Cabo village is known as one of the best places for scuba diving in Brazil. So, beyond having clear waters it also has lots of beautful fishes.
I don't practice scuba diving and I don't know very well about fishes 🙂
No, I never swam from the beach to that island... I am an amatuer swimmer 🙂
The huge art deco J. Christ statue that is on the top of Corcovado Mountain, where there is a belvedere, it was designed by a brazilian engineer. The statue is 38 meter high. However Corcovado peak is 710 meters high.
Once there, you have great views to the city.
Once in a while, the normal ilumination is change.
Once in awhile they change the normal illumination for something thematic. The flags projected on the statue are the flag of all countries that are affected by c-virus.
