Where in the World (434)

Answer to edition 433

The city from last week’s “Where in the World…” is famous for the view from one of its main beaches. The view of the mountains around the city is very distinctive especially a peak called Sugar Loaf which can be seen in the distorted image. The fact that there is the crescent-shaped beach included in the image is also a clue. The beach is Copacabana and the city is Rio de Janeiro.

VilniusCongratulations to those who identified the distorted city from Where in the World (433) as Rio de Janeiro: Beverley (@bevsackville), Tim (@timofnewbury), Atul (@pixodentist), Claudia (@crevilla_), and Jackie (@jackiesjourneys).

This week's "Where in the World..."

The very distinctive architecture should give a clue as to what part of the world the city is located. There are one or two other clues to help narrow down the identity of the city. Good luck. The answer will be given next year so, Happy New Year.
