About 90 real cab ride from Copacabana to airport took about 35 minutes. My airline check-in counter wasn't open yet, so I checked-in online with my tablet over airport Wifi to get a boarding pass, went through security, and was at the gate waiting for my flight about 30mins after entering security. On the left in the beginning of the video is Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, a lagoon behind Copacabana that hosted the crew and canoe sprints. Just on the other side of the lagoon from us is Parque Lage and Botanical Gardens at the bottom of Redeemer. If you view the video in full screen by clicking the little square in the bottom right, you can see the Christ statue on the peak of Corcovado. The tunnel (Andre Reboucas) we go through next is under the mountain beside Redeemer just to the east. After the tunnel, there is a road that connects to the expressway that goes right to Galeao Airport. Right when the music stops we ride past the flags at the entrance to Galeao.
