The tour begins with a hotel pick-up in Rio. Traveling by Jeep, we head toward the historic Santa Teresa neighborhood.
Santa Teresa is known for its colonial buildings and lively art scene. The area features cobblestone streets and old mansions. Many of these mansions have become galleries and cafes. The famous Rio Santa Teresa Tram also runs through the neighborhood.
Next, we get ready for our Tijuca National Park tour. We`ll get deep into this vast urban forest filled with trails, waterfalls, and rich biodiversity. The park offers a serene contrast to Rio’s bustling cityscape. At this point, we transition from the Jeep to a vehicle designed for the ascent to Mount Corcovado.
Christ the Redeemer Climb
Standing at 710 meters above sea level, the Christ the Redeemer statue towers over Rio de Janeiro. Unveiled in 1931, the 38-meter monument is an enduring symbol of faith and Brazilian culture. We advise visitors to wear comfortable clothing, sunscreen, and a light jacket, as temperatures can vary at the summit.
From the base of the statue, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Rio’s iconic landmarks. The Guanabara Bay, Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, and Sugarloaf Mountain are among the highlights. This is your chance to take amazing photos, explore the area, and enjoy the beauty of the Marvelous City.
On the way down from Corcovado, we stop at the Doña Marta Lookout. This viewpoint gives a special view of Rio. You can see Christ the Redeemer in the background. Sugarloaf Mountain is also visible on the horizon.
The tour concludes with a return to hotels and designated meeting points in Rio. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to explore more, this itinerary provides a comprehensive and efficient way to experience Rio’s highlights.
