Activity itinerary

Parque Nacional da Tijuca
  • 20m
We will start by going into the Tijuca Rainforest, the largest urban rain forest in the world and home to hundreds of species of plants and wildlife, many threatened by extinction. Only when we are inside the forest we will feel how big and dense it really is and we will be surprised that we are still inside a big city, like Rio de Janeiro.
Praia Da Joatinga
  • 20m
Secondly, we will head to the amazing and secret Joatinga Beach; a small jewel formed by a hidden cove is one of the most beautiful beaches in Rio de Janeiro and its visitation is a high point for those who like beach, surf, nature and to know where the “Cariocas” go for fun.
Sao Conrado Beach
  • 20m
We will stop by São Conrado Beach to see the hang-gliders land on the beach after their fall from Pedra Bonita. From here you also have a great view of the iconic mountain Pedra da Gávea.
Rocinha
  • 30m
We will enter the most famous and largest favela in Rio, Rocinha. Understand how a favela really works and what factors have influenced it thru history and present. If your group is up to 2 people then we will go to the very top of the Favela. Groups 3 people and more, we enter into the favela, by foot, but do not go to the top.
Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Next we go up Corcovado Hill, by van, to see Brazil’s greatest national icon and on of the new wonders of the world, for some fantastic photos. This is the highest point we will visit during this day, with 710 metres. Our Rio Official Guide will facilitate your entrance tickets, avoiding the public long line to acquire them.
Mirante Dona Marta
  • 20m
From this lookout point, we see Sugarloaf and Corcovado Moutain, from a completely different angle. We also have a complete view over the centre area and Guanabara Bay.
Santa Teresa
  • 45m
We will have a tasty Brazilian BBQ lunch at the historical and bohemian neighbourhood Santa Teresa. This part of town is also famous for artistry, culture and great views over Rio.
Escadaria Selaron
  • 20m
Great place for the best photos ever and an iconic place featured in music videos such as Snoop Dogg's "Beautiful". Some background: In 1990, Selarón began renovating dilapidated steps that ran along the front of his house. It started out as a side-project to his main passion, painting, but soon became an obsession. He found he was constantly out of money, so Selarón sold paintings to fund his work and also tiles were donated from all over the world. It was long and exhausting work but he continued on and eventually covered the entire set of steps in tiles, ceramics and mirrors.
Sugarloaf Mountain
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Sugarloaf Mountain is a peak that rises 396 metres high and presents a bird’s eye view of Rio de Janeiro from the mouth of Guanabara Bay. To get to the top we take two cable cars called “bondinhos”. The first cable car takes us up to the Urca Mountain and the second to Sugarloaf. Our Rio Official Guide buys the needed tickets at a separate ticket office, without the long public line, only granted to Official Guides. We'll end this full packed, fund day here at Sugarloaf and see the sun go down over Rio de Janeiro.
