botafogo bay
is the small round beach peppered with small
white boats that everyone has seen in so many pictures of rio de
janeiro depicting the
sugar loaf.
while
copacabana and
ipanemaare rio's most famous
beaches, botafogo beach is
perhaps the most
photographed beach of all.
this beach sits at
the base of the
sugar loaf, and given that millions of people
visit the statue of the
christ and the sugar loaf each year,
and since these two are icons are facing each other, botafogo beach
appears in almost all pictures taken from both
landmarks.
