"Following a pathway I entered a noble forest, and from a height of five or six hundred feet, once of those splendid views was presented, which are so common on every side of Rio. At this elevation the landscape attains its most brilliant tint; and every form, every shade, so completely surpasses in magnificence all that the European has ever beheld in his own country, that he knows not how to express his feelings." Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle
I need to get to Rio!
