Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

After hotel pick ups, the van takes you up Corcovado Mountain through the dense Tijuca rain forest to the 38m tall (125ft) Christ Redeemer Statue. The guide has between 40 and 50 minutes to show the wonderful sights of Rio. From the top, enjoy the spectacular views of Rio and the surrounding countryside. As you make your way to Sugar Loaf, you will get acquainted with Santa Teresa, a neighborhood with a complete different vibe from the rest of Rio. Here, Old Rio comes alive. Santa Teresa is a neighborhood where laid-backness and tradition meet. But it also brings you street art, such as the amazing Selaron Steps. The beautiful ceramic steps by artist Jorge Selarn are one of a kind. You will have about 10 minutes or so to admire before continue your tour back to your hotel or continuing on to Sugar Loaf Mountain. After that, if you have selected the Sugar Loaf option you will take 2 cable cars to the top. The first cable car takes you to Urca Hill, a vantage point 215 meters high with beautiful views of Guanabara Bay and its islands; the Rio-Niteri Bridge and Corcovado Mountain. From here you take the second cable car takes to the top. At 395 meters you will enjoy splendid views of Copacabana beach, the Santa Cruz fortress and several beaches of Niteri. Enjoy this magnificent scenerey for about 45 minutes until you have to get back down to catch the van which will bring you back to your hotel. If visiting in the afternoon, prepare yourself for the spectacular sunset from the top of Sugar Loaf.

Pick up and drop off at hotel. Enjoyed all of the stops.

This was a wonderful tour and certainly the highlight of our trip. Our tour guide, Milenny, was fantastic and very knowledgeable and even recommended good places to eat around the city. Roberto was also a great driver and very punctual. The tour was a great combination of walking and exploring and driving and I feel like we got to cover a lot of ground. Christ the redeemer was amazing to see. And we very much enjoyed sugarloaf, Selarón, and the small city tour. I wish I could have done the tour twice.
