• Parque Nacional da Tijuca - Begin the adventure by exploring the Tijuca Rainforest, the largest urban rainforest globally, home to numerous plant and wildlife species, many of which are endangered.

Once inside the forest, its vastness and density become apparent, and it’s astonishing to realize that it’s still within the bustling city of Rio de Janeiro.

• Praia Da Joatinga - Next, visit the stunning and secluded Joatinga Beach; a hidden gem nestled in a cove, renowned as one of Rio de Janeiro’s most beautiful beaches. It’s a must-visit for beach lovers, surfers, nature enthusiasts, and those curious about where the locals, “Cariocas,” enjoy their leisure time.
• Sao Conrado Beach - Stop by São Conrado Beach to witness hang-gliders landing after their descent from Pedra Bonita. This spot also offers a fantastic view of the iconic Pedra da Gávea mountain.
• Rocinha - Explore Rocinha, the most famous and largest favela in Rio. Gain insight into how a favela operates and the historical and current influences on it. For groups of up to 2 people, the tour reaches the top of the favela. Larger groups will explore on foot but won’t ascend to the top.
• Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer - Ascend Corcovado Hill by van to visit Brazil’s most iconic national symbol and one of the new wonders of the world, perfect for capturing stunning photos. This is the highest point of the day, at 710 meters.

The Rio Official Guide will assist with entrance tickets, bypassing the long public queues.

• Mirante Dona Marta - From this vantage point, enjoy a unique perspective of Sugarloaf and Corcovado Mountain, along with a panoramic view of the city center and Guanabara Bay.
• Santa Teresa - Savor a delicious Brazilian BBQ lunch in the historic and bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa, known for its art, culture, and spectacular views of Rio.
• Escadaria Selaron - A fantastic spot for memorable photos, this iconic location has been featured in music videos like Snoop Dogg’s “Beautiful.” In 1990, Selarón began restoring the deteriorating steps in front of his house. Initially a side project to his painting, it became an obsession. Despite financial challenges, he funded the work by selling paintings and receiving tile donations from around the world. His dedication led to the entire staircase being adorned with tiles, ceramics, and mirrors.
• Sugarloaf Mountain - (Optional) Sugarloaf Mountain rises 396 meters, offering a breathtaking aerial view of Rio de Janeiro from the entrance of Guanabara Bay. Two cable cars, known as “bondinhos,” transport visitors to the top. The first takes you to Urca Mountain, and the second to Sugarloaf.

The Rio Official Guide purchases tickets at a separate office, avoiding the long public lines, a privilege reserved for Official Guides.

Conclude this exciting, fun-filled day at Sugarloaf, watching the sunset over Rio de Janeiro.
