The tour begins with a train ride through Tijuca Forest up Corcovado Mountain to visit Christ the Redeemer, allowing about 90 minutes at the top including transport time. Next is a brief stop outside Maracanã Stadium near the Bellini Statue, followed by a drive-by past the Sambadrome without stopping. The tour then visits the Metropolitan Cathedral for a 15-minute internal tour and stops at the Selarón Steps for photos.
