Visiting Rio de Janeiro was high on the travel bucket list of drone pilot and videographer Gavin Beals aka The3Ventures, who flies around the world to make compelling travel videos using drones.  Thank goodness he finally made it to Rio because his aerial footage of the beaches, mountains, and cityscapes of Brazil’s famous seaside city is simply breathtaking.  The capital of Brazil until 1960, Rio was chosen as the host city for the 2016 Summer Olympics, putting the city firmly in the world spotlight.

Here's a rather haunting drone video of the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro under quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, compliments of AIrVuz contributor and pilot gabriel2584.  The center of a metropolitan area of over 12 million people (Brazil's second-largest), Rio's streets and public places became virtually deserted during the first half of the year due to social distancing measures imposed to combat the spread of the deadly virus.  By mid-summer, Brazil had the second-highest number of infections after the USA.

Most of the footage is of the city's beaches, some of the most well known in the world.  Much of the video was shot around Copacabana Beach, a 2.5 km (about 1.5 mi.) curved arc of beach that has come to define Brazil's second largest (but best known) city.  It also includes some epic shots of central Rio, and it ends with a fireworks show on the city's great waterfront.

Niterói is a sort of (much smaller) twin to the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, the second largest in this giant South American country.  It sits across the great Guanabara Bay from the larger city, a sort of Oakland to the San Francisco of Rio.  The area is sometimes used to define the larger area on the east side of its bay, only part of which is in the Niterói city limits.  In this drone video by Digital Peace, you'll get a nice aerial view of the beaches on the Niterói side of the great bay, north and east of central Rio.

In 2009, Brazil erupted in celebration when Rio de Janeiro was chosen to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, making Rio the proverbial center of the world for two weeks in August 2016.  While the Games themselves were off-limits for drones, a few of those traveling to Rio for the Games brought their drones with them, like Zekedrone.

Roughly half of the land area of the gigantic city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is in its West (Oeste) Zone.  Because of the city's mountains, much of this area was difficult to access from the central zones until new highways were built in the late 20th century.  It's home to some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the city, as well as the elite Barra da Tijuca neighborhood along the coast.  In this video, contributor Drone in Art brings us a nice aerial view of this beautiful area in Southeastern Brazil.

Get a bird's eye view of one of the most famous churches of Rio de Janeiro, compliments of Esteban Clua.  It's the Candelária Church, and it lies in the Centro district of Brazil's second-largest city.  Construction of the church began in the late 18th century but it took just over 100 years to complete.  In part because of the long construction period, the church's design reflects a blend of Baroque, Neoclassical, and Neo-Renaissance styles. The church was the site of an infamous massacre of eight homeless people in 1993.
