Description
This striking original vintage travel poster promoting Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, features a dramatic photographic image credited to Jean Jacques. The composition captures the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar) rising prominently above Guanabara Bay, one of Brazil’s most recognizable landmarks.
The scene is illuminated by a spectacular, fiery sunset, casting warm tones across the landscape as the evening lights of Rio de Janeiro begin to sparkle along the shoreline. The glowing coastline, combined with the silhouette of Sugarloaf and the surrounding mountains, creates a powerful, atmospheric view that perfectly conveys the city’s romance and beauty.
Sugarloaf Mountain, standing approximately 396 meters (1,299 feet) above the harbor entrance, is a near‑conical granite-and-gneiss monolith at the mouth of Guanabara Bay. It has long been one of Rio’s most famous natural landmarks and a symbol of the city’s spectacular geography.
This poster was produced by RIOTUR, the official tourism authority for the state of Rio de Janeiro. These posters were created specifically for use by the organization’s travel agencies to promote tourism to the region.
