Tourist Traps

A tourist trap is established once a place has successfully promoted one of its special attractions, be it geographical, historical or cultural, and jacks up its prices so high, all the while knowing that the tourist will pay, regardless of the figure. I present Cristo Redentor and Pao de Azucar. You can go pay to go up to these monuments for 30-40 dollars, have a drink for 10 and buy miniature figures for 20 (which this author had no interest in).

In the end, the view is worth it.
