A day discovering Rio’s landmarks: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, historic corners and sweeping views, with transport, admission and lunch included.
A complete van tour to Christ the Redeemer through the wonderful Floresta da Tijuca, also enjoying incredible views from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain.
During the tour we visit some of the Cidade Maravilhosa’s main sights, combining nature, history, culture, football and Rio’s most famous landscapes.
I recommend this option if you want to visit Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf in one day, with the admission, lunch and transport described on this page. If you prefer a half-day tour with Christ the Redeemer and city stops, compare the Christ + City Tour. To arrange an independent visit, read the Christ the Redeemer guide.
Tijuca Forest is one of Rio’s great green lungs: Atlantic Forest vegetation, mountains and trails help explain why few cities combine rainforest and sea like this one.
We cross the forest on the journey to Christ the Redeemer.
At the top of Corcovado, Christ the Redeemer awaits: one of Rio’s best-known landmarks and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The route and access follow the operator’s arrangements.
From the top of Corcovado, enjoy one of the city’s most impressive panoramic views.
Located in the traditional Urca neighbourhood, Sugarloaf Mountain is one of Rio de Janeiro’s great symbols alongside Christ the Redeemer.
From the top, enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the city, bay and mountains.
We make an exterior photo stop in front of the legendary Estádio Jornalista Mário Filho, known worldwide as Maracanã.
One of the most famous stadiums in football history and the setting for major sporting events.
The Sambódromo da Marquês de Sapucaí was designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer and inaugurated in 1984.
It is one of Rio Carnival’s most important venues and the place where samba schools hold their major parades.
Officially named Catedral de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, it is one of the city’s most distinctive religious buildings.
Its architecture, inspired by Central American pyramids, stands out for its enormous circular floor plan and impressive stained-glass windows.
The famous Selarón Steps are in Santa Teresa and were decorated by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón.
Considered by its creator a living, changing work, it is covered in hundreds of ceramic pieces in different colours, sizes and shapes.
