In Copacabana, you’ll discover why cariocas have such a radiant tan. As you explore these neighborhoods, you’ll receive tips on local activities and hear fascinating stories from these streets.
- Botafogo Beach - Venture Downtown along the picturesque Botafogo shore for your first glimpse of Sugar Loaf. You’ll also enjoy beautiful views of Guanabara Bay.
This beach is ideal for sand sports enthusiasts: volleyball, soccer, footvolley, and more. Cycling, jogging, and hiking are popular here, thanks to the bike path and boardwalk leading to Flamengo Beach.
- Guanabara Palace - Pass through the historic Laranjeiras neighborhood, home to the Guanabara Palace, the former residence of Princess Isabel who signed the Golden Law to abolish slavery. Today, the Palace serves as the official headquarters of the Rio de Janeiro government.

- Rio de Janeiro Historic City Center - Embark on a comprehensive city tour of the downtown area. Enjoy a panoramic tour through historical streets and buildings, learning stories and curiosities of this significant area. Appreciate the traditional Cinelândia Square with its historical buildings, and admire the Municipal Theater’s Art Nouveau architecture.
- Aterro Do Flamengo - Travel to Urca via Aterro do Flamengo and its parks, designed by Burle Marx, and learn about Brazil’s role in World War II and the city’s founding in the late 1500s, just before arriving at Sugar Loaf.
- Morro da Urca - The first cable car takes you to Urca Hill, a 215-meter-high vantage point offering stunning views of Guanabara Bay and its islands, Flamengo and Botafogo beaches, Santos Dummont Airport, the Rio-Niterói Bridge, Urca’s neighborhood, and Corcovado Mountain.
- Sugarloaf Mountain - A second cable car takes you to the summit. Once there, you’ll understand why Rio is considered one of the world’s most beautiful cities. At 395 meters, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Copacabana Beach, Niterói, and the Santa Cruz fortress. From this height, it’s easy to see why Rio is called the “Wonderful City.”
- Carretão Ipanema Classic Grill - After visiting Sugar Loaf Mountain, head to an all-you-can-eat barbecue house. Brazilian Churrascarias (Barbecue places) offer a wide variety of sides and alternative options, ensuring even vegetarians leave satisfied. Lunch is included only if the option is selected. If not, the guide will suggest nearby options to suit any budget or taste!
- Maracana - Take a lap around the stadium and make a brief stop to appreciate the grandeur of the two-time World Cup Finals host. Imagine the history since its 1950 opening when Brazil hosted its first World Cup. You’ll view the stadium from the outside only.
- Parque Nacional da Tijuca - Upon reaching Cosme Velho Station, at the base of Corcovado Mountain, board the train with pre-reserved tickets to save time. It will take you to the top, through the lush Tijuca Rainforest, to the 38m tall (125ft) Christ Redeemer Statue. The 20-minute ride offers a chance to fully appreciate the Tijuca Forest, the largest urban forest globally, covering 7% of the city’s territory! It’s breathtaking and makes the trip worthwhile.
- Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer - Upon arrival at the Statue, choose between a lift and escalator or the traditional 222-step climb. The reward is worth it. Once at the top, the views and the majestic statue will make the climb worthwhile! Looking up, you’ll feel blessed and protected by this magnificent monument of Christ with open arms, now one of the new Seven Wonders of the World! From here, you can see most of the city, the entire south zone, and all the way to Niteroi. A unique view that will leave you in awe.
