On the transfer to the hotel on Copacabana you can get a first impression of the former capital of Brazil, which is wonderfully embedded between numerous hills and bays. From a distance, you can certainly take a look at the two landmarks of the city: the statue of Christ and the Sugar Loaf.

After a delicious breakfast, you will be picked up from the hotel and start the day on an exciting day. You will first be taken to the top of Mount Corcovado for breathtaking views of the city center. Corcovado is home to the famous statue of Christ that surrounds the city. It is 38 meters high and represents the faith and goodness of Carioca, the people of Rios. There is a stop to visit the Maracana (outside only) and the opportunity to learn a little about the history of the last phase of the football World Cup in 1950 and 2014. During this half-day tour, you will also see the Selaron Stairs, Sambadrome, and the Cathedral.

Day 3: With the cable car to the Sugar Loaf

Today you can look forward to a trip to the famous Sugar Loaf and the old town of Rio.

After breakfast, you will be picked up by your guide and start another exciting day in Brazil ́s mega-metropolis. Two cable cars take you from the Urca district via the Morro de Urca to the Morro de Pão de Açúcar, the Sugar Loaf. This granite block, which is now a symbol of Rio, was called "pau-nh-acuga" by the natives, which means high, pointed mountain. This became "Pão de Açúcar" in Portuguese, meaning carrot. The 360 ° panoramic view from the top of the Sugar Loaf at an altitude of 395 m above sea level is breathtaking. You can look out over the golden beaches, the green rainforest, and a thriving city.

After a guided tour of the Santa Teresa district. Located in the heart of the city, with its natural and architectural landmarks, its Belvedere, cultural centers, studios, galleries, restaurants, bars, hotels and hotels - and even Carnival blocks - enliven more and more visitors and tourists in the neighborhood, especially those who are looking for another alternative for leisure, with a touch of that calm of the past, in the heart of the central metropolis.

At night we will pick you up at your hotel to take you to the famous churrascaria Carretão do Lido to enjoy a typical dinner. After dinner, our driver will take you to Ginga Tropical Show, a 1,5 hours show which is a representation of different typical dances of Brazil, from Lambada to Forró, samba, Capoeira, and more. At the end of the show, we will take you back to your accommodation.

Day 4: Spend Time On The Lovely Beaches

While the white sand beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are well-known around the world (and as a result are consistently busy), the lesser-known beaches of Barra de Guaratiba offer a calmer opportunity to enjoy Brazil’s incredible waterfront.

Embark on an adventure to visit the beaches in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro! The West Zone has some of the most beautiful beaches in Rio located in remote places. We experience peace and tranquility in this remote area far from Downtown. A perfect getaway from the busy urban life. Due to their location, they are mostly untouched by any kind of human development. They are little paradisiacal retreats with white sand and cool waters. Admire the view, feel the fresh breeze, take unforgettable pictures and chat with the friendliest people.

From the vehicle, we get to see the Praia da Barra da Tijuca, Praia da Reserva, Praia do Recreio dos Bandeirantes and Praia da Macumba. The tour guide provides information about the beautiful shore as you relax and enjoy the ride this 2-hour drive. We stop in three different places: Prainha, Praia de Abricó and Praia de Grumari. We take our time swimming, relaxing, and taking pictures to register these moments. In the end, we return to the hotel.

With a little luck you will see monkeys, sloths or topical birds. Learn about the Taunay Waterfall and visit the beautiful Mayrink Chapel. We end our tour in the botanical garden. On an area of about 140 hectares fascinates the Botanical Garden with its approximately 6500 plant species. The Botanical Garden of Rio is one of the ten most important of its kind in the world. The 128 palm trees of the main avenue "Barbosa Rodrigues" originate partly from the time of the origin of the garden. In addition to numerous hothouses, orchidaria and rose gardens, forms a lake with giant water plants, such as the largest water lily of the Amazon, "Vitória Regia", a major attraction.
