Rio de Janeiro

Set high above the city, this live camera shows Rio de Janeiro from a lookout in the Corcovado area, with a broad frame that mixes forest, rocky slopes, sea and parts of the South Zone. Because the camera sits so high, the scene changes constantly. On clear hours the horizon opens up and the mountain shapes stand out; when clouds roll in, mist and shifting light soften the view and change the whole landscape. People watching the live view usually see dense greenery, exposed rock faces and the movement of visitors around the lookout. It works both as a city panorama and as a weather window, showing the place from early daylight to sunset and revealing how visibility can shift from one moment to the next.
