This full-day bus tour of about nine hours covers Rio de Janeiro’s main landmarks with guided commentary. The highlight is visiting the Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado Mountain. The tour reaches the statue by a 20-minute drive through Tijuca Forest along the Paineiras route. The statue stands 710 meters above sea level and offers wide views of the city. After this, the tour includes a two-stage cable car ride up Sugarloaf Mountain. The first cable car ascends to Morro da Urca at 224 meters, and the second climbs to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain at 395 meters. Near these mountains, the tour stops briefly at Praia Vermelha, located between Sugarloaf and Urca Mountains. The journey then continues on bus to downtown Rio. It visits the Selarón Steps in Santa Teresa, known for their colorful tiles, and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian, noted for its modern architecture and stained glass windows inspired by biblical stories. The tour also passes by the Maracanã Stadium for photos and shares stories about its importance in Brazilian soccer. Finally, it stops at the Sambadrome da Marques de Sapucai, the venue for Rio’s Carnival parades, accessible only during carnival season. The package includes a Brazilian buffet lunch, roundtrip transportation with air conditioning, and entrance fees for Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. Entrance to the Sambodromo and Maracanã Stadium are not included. A bilingual guide leads the small group throughout the day.
