Itinerary
We visit to Corcovado Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue going through the Paineiras route. The 20-minute drive to the base of the statue takes you through the Tijuca Forest and gives you a preview of the landscapes ahead. The statue stands 710 meters tall and from this vantage point, you’ll have sweeping views of the city.
The cable car ride to the top of the mountain is done in 2 stages: begin at the boarding station to Urca Mountain (224 meters) and then from Urca Mountain to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain (395 meters).
Part of the Sugarloaf.
Located between the Sugarloaf Mountain and the Urca Mountain, the Praia Vermelha is a charming place.
Located in Santa Teresa, the Selarón Steps are famous for its bright and colourfull tiles.
The modern archtecture is very different from the traditional cathedrals we see out there. Enjoy the beautiful stained glasses and try to guess the biblical passages they got their inspiration from.
Football - or soccer, if you prefer - is part of the Brazilian life. We love to watch the games and share experiences with complete strangers that get together for one purpose: support their team on the field. The Maracanã Stadium is considered our temple and a sacred place for those who enjoy a great game. We can take pictures outside of the Stadium and share stories about our favorite matches.
See the Carnival temple, the place where the magic happens. The Sambadrome opens only during carnival time. But we get to see the place from the outside and hear stories about the biggest carnival in the world.
Barbecue restaurant located in Copacabana. Enjoy the traditional Brazilian barbecue.

Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Selaron & BBQ Lunch by C2RIO TOURS & TRAVEL The trip was what it said you saw the Christ of Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain etc Lunch was really good Not impressed with the guide as I felt he could have told us more about Rio in general while travelling around the city as you are on the bus for a while. Not sure if he has done this too long or too many times that week as he wasn't that enthusiastic We had selected English tour however it was English, Spanish and French. It was hard to understand his English so that didn’t really help the tour plus all the other languages happening too. Overall I was disappointed in the tour as it could have been a lot better.
Very rushed day tour with poor guide and no lunch was actually provided – watch out for this dangerous company as they are a scam artists…
Feb 2024 - The tour of the sights was very cool to see, with amazing views of the city! However I was disappointed that there was barely any mention of the African contribution to the foundations of Rio. You cannot talk about the history of Rio without talking about the African people! African people immensely contributed and built this beautiful city into what it is today! As each generation passes their blood, sweat and tears is continually overlooked from generation to generation. However as nature changes their stories will eventually be told.
Our guide Monica Francesca Bertazzolo was very profesional. Every body was picked up on time, all the program went according to schedule, there was enough time at the sights. I would suggest 30 min at Selaron stairs would be better, so as to enjoy a Caipurinha and look closet to the tiles. Monica was impressive as she talked and explained everything în 3 languages, acc. to the group preferences, changing easily from one to the other. A big bravo!!
Go and enjoy spectacular food and top service, ah and delicious drinks Thank you friends from #TAO.. we'll be back soon
Guía y chófer, Mar y Edivan, muy eficientes, amables y con mucho humor. El día ayudó mucho para ver la 7ª maravilla del mundo en todo su esplendor, muy soleado y calor aceptable. Todas las indicaciones de la guía fueron muy interesantes porque, como ella, amo la historia y los museos. Lindo ver el Maracaná, porque los uruguayos siempre hablamos del Maracanazo. La subida al Pan de Azúcar, una experiencia inolvidable. Amo Río más que nunca.
