Private Corcovado And Sugar Loaf Tour

On this 8-hour tour, depart from the hotel after breakfast to visit the city's most famous landmarks and see the natural beauty of Rio de Janeiro from above. After a scenic drive along Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, passengers arrive at the bottom of Corcovado Hill. Embark on a comfortable train that ascends the mountain, where the statue of Christ the Redeemer is located 2,300 ft above sea level. The Christ statue, known as the “Wonder of Rio,” was elected one of the 7 "New Wonders of the World." Upon arrival at the top, guests can use the panoramic elevators or escalators to arrive at the foot of the statute. Passengers can enjoy a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro and discover why it is called the "Marvelous City." Afterwards, descend the mountain and stop for a delicious lunch. Over a million tourists each year visit the world-famous ‘Pão de Açúcar’ (Sugar Loaf Mountain), which has become an iconic symbol of Rio de Janeiro. Rising up from a small peninsula at the entrance of Guanabara Bay, its name refers to its resemblance to the traditional shape of a concentrated, refined sugar loaf. The journey to the top is made in glass cable cars. The first cable car takes passengers to the top of Urca Hill, which rises 215 meters above sea level and offers spectacular views of the entire bay and its surrounding islands. From Urca Hill, passengers continue in a second cable car to the top of Sugar Loaf, which rises 395 meters above sea level and offers a 360-degree view of the entire city, including Botafogo and Copacabana Beaches, Corcovado Mountain, and downtown Rio de Janeiro.
