In 1823, Charles Darwin declared: "the Guanabara bay exceeds anything that the Europeans can see in their own country in splendour". Rocks and small islands emerge from the sea in the chaos of the Rio bay. Even though it is polluted, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful bays in the world, often compared to those of San Francisco and Hong Kong.
