00:00:00.139 --> 00:00:04.207
Sunday afternoon at the Pacaembu Stadium in Sao Paulo.  

2
00:00:04.894 --> 00:00:08.868
Here, the Corinthians are due to play and the crowds are starting to gather.  

3
00:00:08.953 --> 00:00:14.471
Now, in this country, they're fanatical about football. It's almost a religion.  

4
00:00:15.108 --> 00:00:23.499
Of course, a soccer game only lasts 90 minutes, but here's some things you can do if you've got two hours to kill.

5
00:00:35.341 --> 00:00:38.471
Hi, my name is Vik Muniz and I'm a visual artist from Brazil.  

6
00:00:39.193 --> 00:00:44.729
Although my work takes me to many places around the globe, Rio remains one of my favorite places to visit and work.  

7
00:00:45.106 --> 00:00:49.021
The first place I want to take you in my city is the Instituto Moreira Salles.  

8
00:00:49.344 --> 00:00:50.484
Come and let's take a look around.

9
00:00:52.292 --> 00:00:58.506
With his artistic and technical proficiency, Marc Ferrez can be ranked among the greatest photographers of the 19th century.  

10
00:00:59.023 --> 00:01:03.243
And it's here at the Instituto Moreira Salles that we can share a little bit of his world.

11
00:01:06.083 --> 00:01:12.921
Marc Ferrez dedicated his entire life in the 19th century to portraying the city he loved, which was Rio.  

12
00:01:13.505 --> 00:01:21.262
Because of its climate and geographic beauty, Rio was once the second most photographed place in the world, second only to Paris.

13
00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:24.020
This is the second place I'd like you to see.  

14
00:01:24.450 --> 00:01:30.079
It's Parque Lage. It was built in 1849 by John Tynsdale [Tyndale], an English landscape artist.  

15
00:01:30.601 --> 00:01:35.028
Along Rua Jardim Botanico, the park is located near the Tijuca forest area.  

16
00:01:35.779 --> 00:01:48.261
It's amazing to think that we're pretty much in the center of a city like Rio and yet still we can enjoy waterfalls, monkeys, exotic birds.  

17
00:01:49.115 --> 00:01:57.940
Although Rio is very famous for its shoreline and beaches, it's really here in the jungle that someone can unwind and relax.  

18
00:01:58.220 --> 00:01:59.856
It's one of my favorite places in the city.

19
00:02:01.391 --> 00:02:05.383
Well, this is the next place I'd like to take you. It's a restaurant called Yoruba.  

20
00:02:06.595 --> 00:02:11.719
It features great Brazilian and African fare, and it's very informal and very good.  

21
00:02:11.997 --> 00:02:19.511
I wanted to bring you here because this is a little bit away from the beaten path and it's a little bit of an insider's jewel.

22
00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:35.312
And here we finish our tour of Rio with one of my favorite places the Jobi.  

23
00:02:36.091 --> 00:02:42.697
Jobi is a botequim, very informal place, where most Cariocas come for a beer at the end of the day.  

24
00:02:43.367 --> 00:02:49.214
It's not in any guidebook, and I hope you'll come here and enjoy this informal side of Rio as we all do.  

25
00:02:49.441 --> 00:02:51.361
Thank you very much. This is Rio.
