Brazilian media reported that three of those killed were Colombian tourists.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/>The helicopter crashed in a mountainous part of the national park, an area covered by dense vegetation and difficult to access. Firefighters said the pilot and three women &#8220;burned to death&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/>Images released by the fire department showed the charred wreckage of the helicopter smoking on a steep hillside.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>A police source told AFP that the victims had not yet been officially identified. However, local media reports said the three female passengers were Colombian nationals, while Brazilian news site G1 reported that they belonged to the same family.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The crash occurred near Vista Chinesa, a replica of a Chinese pagoda located at a high altitude and known for its panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro from within the forest. The landmark also featured in the 2011 animated film &#8220;Rio&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The latest crash comes less than two months after another helicopter accident in Rio de Janeiro. In June, two helicopters collided over the city, killing six people, including American singer Oliver Tree and Argentine YouTuber Gaspar Prim.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Helicopter tours are popular among tourists visiting Rio, offering aerial views of the city&#8217;s landmarks and coastline.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Following Saturday&#8217;s crash, Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere said on X that he had asked Brazil&#8217;s National Civil Aviation Agency to immediately step up monitoring to ensure the safety of helicopter flights.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/rest-of-world\/four-killed-in-helicopter-crash-in-rio-de-janeiro\/articleshow\/133061331.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emergency personnel stand near the site where, according to fire department officials, a helicopter crashed killing the pilot and 3 tourists.
