Best places to photograph in Rio de Janeiro on a helicopter tour.

That Rio de Janeiro is the perfect scenario for a helicopter tour, there is no doubt. From landscapes to natural lighting, everything combines so harmoniously that it guarantees the most amazing images.

In addition, it is almost impossible to select the best places to shoot. Certainly, the beaches have been divinely assembled to ensure perfect poses.

However, there are other places, where it is possible, on a helicopter tour, to record every moment.

At first it seems a little strange to think of good pictures from inside a helicopter, but when the aircraft takes off and flies over the many landscapes of Rio, everything changes its view.

With the doors open and the breadth seen from above, it’s amazing how everything gets better.

Lookouts:

The lookouts are strategic points for those who want to observe the city and exquisite for those who go with the intention of shooting. However, each place stands out for its particular view and guarantees the most diverse sensations.

Dona Marta

From the top of 360 meters you can see Sugar Loaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, Maracanã, Guanabara Bay and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon.

Gávea Stone

For those who are willing to tackle climbing from 844 meters, the finish is rewarded with a panoramic view of Barra da Tijuca, with spectacular photos.

Telegraph Stone

The famous stone pose that gives the impression of hanging on the cliff has another angle and photos of Grumari beach can be taken.

Chinese view

It all comes together for an amazing photo. The union of the Chinese pagoda and the carioca landscape add a special touch to the photo. From above, you have a wonderful view from various points.

Parks:

Not only for walks are the parks made. In addition, they are perfectly assembled and structured scenarios, intentionally or involuntarily, for photos. Here are some of them for inspiration:

Tijuca National Park

With many spaces targeted for photographic essays. Where are waterfalls, lookouts, hills, trails.

Ruins Park

A picturesque place, former home of Laurinda Santos Lobo, patron of the Belle Époque carioca. In addition, the photos escape the nature scene a bit and go for a more colonial, romantic and contemporary style.

Lage Park

Along the same lines, Parque Lage is complete with natural spaces and the Palacete, which adds a touch to the photos.

Quinta da Boa Vista

The 1808 royal family residence in São Cristóvão neighborhood has beautiful gardens and landscapes to frame the photos.
