Looking east from the Sofitel Rio Palace front deck to the entrance of Forte de Copacabana. This is an active military facility, built around 1908, but parts of it are open for tours. Prior to the opening of tunnels connecting Copacabana to the rest of the city in 1921, the entire area was an empty wilderness of sand and brush. (Photo by Kathleen G.
