Day 1: Rio: Arrival
Upon arrival in Rio de Janeiro, we welcome you with our guide and transfer you to your hotel, in one of Rio's famous beach districts.
Famed for its breathtaking setting, Rio is undoubtedly one of the most attractive cities in the world, boasting perennial favourites such as: Corcovado mountain, where the statue of Christ the Redeemer stands proudly, arms outstretched and watching over the city; Sugar Loaf mountain offering stunning views of Rio; and the characteristic beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon and São Conrado.
Day 2: Rio: Full day Sugar Loaf Mountain and Corcovado Tour: Lunch Included
Today we visit the city’s most famous attraction, the Christ the Redeemer Statue, picked as the 7th wonder of the modern world. The statue is some 710 metres above sea level on the Corcovado Mountain. The panoramic views of the city from the base of the statue are absolutely incredible. The ascent is by vehicle through the Floresta de Tijuca National Park – the largest urban flower park in the world. The tour includes a panoramic trip through Rio de Janeiro, visiting the Sambodrome, the Metroploitan Cathedral and the Museum of Fine Art, as well as the Cinelandia Square and the Municipal Theatre.
After lunch at a typical churrasquería the tour continues with a great trip along the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, and Leme (with a chance to stop and take photos) before arriving at the Sugar Loaf Mountain in the middle of the Guanabara Bay. The ascent of this 395 metre mountain is done in two stages, and the views are amazing.
Day 3: Rio: Free Day
Free day to relax at the beach or explore on your own.
Day 4: Rio: Airport Transfer
At the appropriate time, we transfer you to the airport or bus station for your onward journey.
