Rio iconic landmarks tour with Sugarloaf cable ride and barbecue lunch

Embark on a full day of exploration in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. The journey begins with a visit to the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado Mountain. This is followed by an exterior tour of the famous Maracanã football stadium, as well as stops at the Sambódromo, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Selarón Steps.

The adventure begins with a transfer from your Rio hotel to the Christ the Redeemer statue - one of the New Seven Wonders of the World - which stands majestically atop Corcovado Mountain. The short but scenic drive through the Tijuca Forest opens up to reveal awe-inspiring views of the entire city.

Descending to sea level, you'll pass by the legendary Maracanã football stadium and continue to the Sambódromo, home of Rio's thrilling Carnaval. Next, visit the uniquely designed Metropolitan Cathedral, which features modern architecture influenced by Mayan pyramids. Next, admire the colourful tiles of the world-famous Selarón Steps, one of Rio's most distinctive landmarks. After these explorations, relax at a local steakhouse for a delicious barbecue lunch.

After lunch, prepare for a final trip to Sugarloaf Mountain, nestled in the Urca neighbourhood. Experience an exhilarating ride on a series of two cable cars to the summit. The first stop is at Urca Hill, followed by a continuation to the top of Sugarloaf, which reaches an impressive height of 395 metres. End this unforgettable tour with a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro that will leave you spellbound.
