This 6-hour tour in Rio de Janeiro visits three important landmarks: the Christ Redeemer Statue, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the Selarón Steps. The tour begins with a van ride through the Tijuca National Park rainforest to Corcovado Mountain. At the Paineiras Visitor Center, there is time to buy snacks or souvenirs before continuing by van to the summit of Corcovado. At the top, visitors spend about 45 minutes viewing the 38-meter tall Christ Redeemer Statue and the panoramic views of Rio and its surroundings. Next, the tour stops in the Santa Teresa neighborhood, known for its traditional architecture and relaxed atmosphere. The group then visits the Selarón Steps for approximately 10 minutes to see the ceramic-covered staircase created by artist Jorge Selarón. The final stop is Sugarloaf Mountain, reached by cable car. The first cable car ascends to Morro da Urca hill at 215 meters, offering views of Guanabara Bay, the Rio-Niterói Bridge, and Corcovado Mountain. The second cable car takes visitors to Sugarloaf’s 395-meter summit, where they can stay about 45 minutes to enjoy views of Copacabana Beach, the Santa Cruz fortress, and beaches of Niterói. After the visit, the van returns participants to their hotels in Rio’s South Zone. The tour includes transportation between sites, cable car tickets for Sugarloaf Mountain, van transportation to Christ Redeemer, hotel pickup and drop-off for selected South Zone hotels, entry to the Selarón Steps, and a professional guide. Food, drinks, and optional gratuities are not included. After the tour, there is free time to explore Rio further.
