Tour Details

Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Rio at the scheduled time. After boarding a minibus, we'll set off to explore Christ the Redeemer and the Tijuca National Park.

First, we will visit the iconic Christ the Redeemer to bypass the lines and secure the best photo opportunities. From this famous viewpoint, you can admire breathtaking vistas of Rio de Janeiro's beaches and skyline—make sure your cameras are ready!

Next, we'll explore the charming Santa Teresa neighborhood, a haven for local artists. You'll also have the chance to see the historic bondinho, the tram that still operates in Rio, and catch a glimpse of the colorful Selarón steps.

Following this, we will visit the Rio de Janeiro Cathedral, an architecturally unique structure in the heart of the city, and pass by the Maracaná Stadium. You will then have some free time to enjoy lunch at your leisure.

After re-energizing, we will head to Parque Lage, a cultural and historical park situated at the base of the Corcovado mountain range, part of the Tijuca National Park. This area is notable for housing one of the largest urban jungles globally.

To conclude the tour, you will have the option to take a trip to Sugarloaf Mountain via cable car, offering spectacular views, or we can drop you off back at your hotel.
