Designed for anyone who has a full day available to visit Rio’s two main attractions, this tour is essentially a combination of the Corcovado plus City Tour with Sugarloaf. From Cosme Velho district a cog and pinion railway climbs the steep forested hillside to the peak of Corcovado (Hunchback). On the summit, at an altitude of 710 metres, is the statue of Christ the Redeemer, one of the world’s best-known and most-visited monuments. 

Around the base of Corcovado, the dense Tijuca Forest was proclaimed a National Park in the early sixties. After the descent through this forest, the tour will make a photo stop at Mário Filho Stadium, better known to football fans worldwide as Maracanã, and the nearby Sambódromo, the stage for Brazil’s largest carnival celebrations. The tour includes a delicious lunch at a typical Brazilian restaurant. After lunch, the tour takes in various places of interest in downtown Rio de Janeiro before proceeding through the old neighbourhood of Urca towards the base of Sugarloaf. A cable car carries you up the steep climb of Morro da Urca. From this intermediate stage, the cable car proceeds to Sugarloaf’s summit, 395 m above sea level. From the top, you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views and spectacular sunsets over Rio de Janeiro. Duration: approx. 8 hours

Meet and greet with your local, Portuguese-speaking driver in Campo Grande, to be transferred roughly 3.5 hours to Bonito.

The tour begins in the forest surrounding the Rio da Prata, with the chance to spot birds and other wildlife before diving into the Olho d’Agua, a tributary of the Rio da Prata. Floating in the crystal-clear water feels like being in an aquarium, with dozens of different species of fish and aquatic plants. At the end of the float a delicious lunch awaits. Wetsuits and special shoes are necessary equipment and are provided.
