Day 1: Arrive Rio de Janeiro

Arrive this morning to Rio de Janeiro and transfer to your hotel. A private walking city tour will introduce you to this historic city, a former capital of Brazil. After seeing the architecture and important cultural sites, spend your free time discovering Rio’s world famous beaches - Ipanema and Copacabana - and sipping agua de coco (green coconut water) or a caipirinha (a drink made with lime juice and cachaça, sugar cane liqueur).

Day 2: Corcovado and Sugar Loaf Mountains

1 Breakfast

Visit Rio de Janeiro’s most popular attraction – the 125’ statue of “Christ the Redeemer” - on Corcovado Mountain, meaning 'hunchback' in Portuguese. The statue was constructed of concrete and soapstone and financed by Brazilian Catholics. Opened in October of 1931, the statue continues to make history. In 2007, the statue was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. In February of 2008, the statue was struck by lightning. Because of the soapstone, the statue was not damaged.

For a different perspective of Rio, you and your guide will take the cable cars that climbs to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain. From the peak, the entire cidade maravilhosa, (marvelous city), coastline, and Atlantic Ocean spread out below you.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
