Overview

This half-day bus tour in Rio de Janeiro covers two major landmarks over about five hours. The trip starts with a two-stage cable car ride up Sugarloaf Mountain. First, the cable car takes you from the boarding station to Urca Mountain at 224 meters, then continues to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain at 395 meters, providing wide views of the area. After Sugarloaf, the tour continues by minivan along the Paineiras route through the Tijuca Forest to reach Christ the Redeemer. The drive to the statue’s base takes about 20 minutes and offers views of the forest and city. The statue stands 710 meters above sea level and offers expansive sights of Rio de Janeiro. You’ll spend about an hour here. The tour also includes a stop at Parque Nacional da Tijuca, the world’s largest urban forest, where you get a panoramic view for around 40 minutes. Throughout the tour, a guide accompanies the small group. Entrance fees to Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer are included, as are roundtrip transfers in a vehicle with air conditioning. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included.
