Description

This tour is an excellent option to see the highlights of Rio if time is limited. You leave the hotel in the morning and head to the Cosme Velho Station where you board a cog-train for the ride through Tijuca Forest up Corcovado Mountain. The train ride takes 20 minutes and is a wonderful opportunity for a closer look at the forest's lush tropical vegetation and to enjoy scenic landscapes of the beaches and city. Once at the top of Corcovado there are steps that lead to the top lookout where the towering statue of Christ the Redeemer stands. After enjoying the breathtaking view below, passengers will descend by train and head to the restaurant for lunch. The tour continues on through the downtown area, passing by the financial and business center and other attractions such as the Candelaria Church as far as Urca District where you will take a cable car for a two-staged ascent up Sugar Loaf mountain. After riding down the cable car, the buses will return passengers to their hotels. Beverages are not included.

This full-day city tour visits the main sights of Rio including Sugar Loaf and Corcovado and includes lunch. You will travel in an air-conditioned motorcoach which will make additional stops at hotels around Rio de Janeiro to pick-up and drop-off other travelers. Your bilingual guide will present the tour in multiple languages depending on the need of your fellow travelers. If you would like a tour without hotel stops and presented exclusively in English, please book our private full-day tour.
