Tour Overview
At the scheduled time, we will collect you from your accommodation in Rio de Janeiro to embark on this captivating tour featuring two of the city's key attractions. Are you ready to uncover the wonders of AquaRio and the Museum of Tomorrow? Let's set off!
Our first destination will be AquaRio, recognized as the largest aquarium in South America. Upon arrival, enjoy a 1.5-hour guided exploration where you'll discover the fascinating world of over 350 marine species housed within.
While wandering through AquaRio, you will encounter everything from small sardines to majestic sharks, along with a diverse array of invertebrates, mammals, and birds. One highlight of the aquarium is the underwater tunnel, providing an immersive experience akin to being at the ocean's depths, which is especially loved by younger visitors!
Next, we will walk along the stunning Olympic Boulevard, a space that underwent a remarkable transformation for the 2016 Olympic Games held in Rio de Janeiro. Here, you can take in the spectacular views of Guanabara Bay and stop by one of its prominent sights, the Kobra Mural.
This enormous mural, crafted by Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra, is a vibrant portrayal of various ethnicities, artfully integrating colorful patterns and geometric designs that captivate everyone who sees it.
Continuing through this lively district, we'll arrive at our next destination, the Museum of Tomorrow, an ideal location for delving into the realms of neo-futuristic sciences.
The exterior of this museum, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, is sure to impress you, standing as a striking architectural piece along the waterfront at Pier Maua.
Inside, we will spend 1.5 hours engaging with some of the most innovative experiments spread across its five thematic areas: Cosmos, Earth, Anthropocene, Tomorrow, and Today.
Finally, we will make our way back to your hotel, concluding our journey after approximately four hours together.
