Corcovado and Sugar Loaf Mountain Tour


Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - This is an excellent option to see the best of Rio de Janeiro if time is limited. Two of the best tours combined to make one great day!

Corcovado Tour
The tour begins as you head to the Cosme Velho station to catch the cog train (ticket is included) for a journey through the dense Atlantic Rain Forest of Tijuca, and on to the statue of Christ Redeemer on Corcovado mountain. You will spend between 40 and 60 minutes here with your tour guide, who will show you the wonderful sights of Rio.

After the morning tour, relax and enjoy lunch at a seafood restaurant.

Sugar Loaf Tour
In the afternoon, join the Sugar Loaf tour, driving by downtown Rio, with its fine colonial-style Portuguese buildings, and continuing on to the cable car at Prai Vermelha (red beach). A ride to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain gives the visitor a wonderful view of the city nestling between the mountains and the sea, and the sight of the sun going down over Copacabana beach is magical.
