Highlights
  • Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer - With arms wide open to the Guanabara Bay, the statue of the Christ is a work of art that cannot be compared to anything else. You may seat on the stairs in front of the Christ to take a better picture with the statue on the back. Do not miss the opportunity to take pictures of the city from up there as well.
  • Rocinha - We walk through the alleys, see how the locals live and understand more about their everyday life. Home to thousands of people, the favela is a place of resistance with vibrant culture and lots to see.
    We may visit Rocinha or Vidigia. Depends on the day.

Additional Information

Join us for a visit to Christ the Redeemer, a breathtaking marvel amongst the Seven Wonders of the World, combined uniquely with a peek into the local lifestyle in a favela. This semi-day excursion delivers two contrasting sides - a customary tourist hotspot and a deeper comprehension of our city’s socioeconomic facets. We will journey through Tijuca Forest in a minivan, climbing up the Corcovado hill to arrive at Christ the Redeemer. Moreover, this trip blends an exploration of the everyday lives of favela inhabitants. Our visit could be to Vidigal or Rocinha, varying daily.
