Your adventure will commence with a pick-up from your hotel at the predetermined time. Are you ready to unveil the beauty of Rio? Let's set off!
The morning begins at the Cosme Velho Station, where you’ll board the renowned Corcovado train. This enchanting ride through the lush Rio jungle lasts approximately 20 minutes, culminating at Christ the Redeemer, recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Upon arrival, you’ll have the opportunity to capture unforgettable photographs with this majestic statue, towering over 30 meters (98 ft) high. The journey continues as we pass by the iconic Maracanã Stadium, an enduring symbol of the city.
Next, we will appreciate the exterior of the Sambadrome, the vibrant venue for the exhilarating Rio de Janeiro Carnival held each February. Following this, the tour heads downtown to explore the Metropolitan Cathedral, which features a contemporary design inspired by the pyramids of the Mayans.
In the heart of the city, you will also encounter the famous and colorful Selarón Staircase, a true testament to the city's artistic spirit. After this eventful morning, a delightful rodizio-style lunch awaits you, where you can savor an all-you-can-eat buffet of delicious meats. Enjoy your meal!
With renewed energy, we conclude the day atop Sugarloaf Mountain, located in the Urca neighborhood. To reach the summit, we will take two cable cars: the first will transport us to Morro da Urca, followed by a second ascent to the peak of Sugarloaf, standing at a majestic height of 395 m (1,296 ft).
As the tour wraps up, we will return to our original meeting point, offering a fond farewell after an enriching eight-hour experience.
