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 factors influencing it. At the top of the favela, enjoy breathtaking views.
- Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer - Ascend Corcovado Hill by van to see 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 arrange 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 - Relish 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 renovating the deteriorating steps in front of his house. Initially a side project to his painting, it became an obsession. Despite financial challenges, Selarón sold paintings and received tile donations from around the world, eventually covering the entire staircase with tiles, ceramics, and mirrors.
- Sugarloaf Mountain - (Optional) Sugarloaf Mountain, standing 396 meters tall, offers a breathtaking aerial view of Rio de Janeiro from Guanabara Bay’s entrance. Two cable cars, known as “bondinhos,” transport visitors to the summit, with the first reaching Urca Mountain and the second ascending 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 action-packed, enjoyable day at Sugarloaf, watching the sunset over Rio de Janeiro.
