This is Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean, this peak rises 396 metres above Guanabara Bay. An absolutely awesome sight from up here.

The blue structure on the peak is the cable car station. You get on here, at the bottom, and then take a car up to the first peak, and then onwards to the very top! Also, these were the cable cars where they filmed the scene in Moonraker where Jaws bites right through the cable! Cool.

Just to the south here is the gigantic Copacabana beach! So big that you can easily fit what looks like a beach volleyball court on there! (Mmmm, beach volleyball… )

Thanks and Bodo Maller, Didier, Tom B, Simon and Ronaldo Reis.

This is the Avenida 9 de Julio in the centre of Buenos Aires, Argentina. At 127 metres, it is one of the widest streets in the world, with some eighteen lanes of traffic! Unfortunately our thumbnail doesn’t really do it justice - it really is pretty gigantic! The street was named after the date of Argentina’s independence.

Right in the middle of the street stands a 67 metre obelisk marking the heart of Buenos Aires. You can climb to the top too where you’ll find four observation windows - great view I reckon, check out this impressive photo of the Avenue and Obelisk.
