Rio Express: Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain
Description
A quick tour in Rio de Janeiro visiting the two most famous landmarks: the Christ the Redeemer Statue and Sugarloaf Mountain. Get picked up from your hotel and drive up to the Christ the Redeemer Statue - one of the New Seven Wonders of the World - on top of Corcovado Mountain. The drive is short and beautiful, traveling through the Tijuca Forest before opening up to incredible views of the entire city. Then go to Sugarloaf Mountain, located in the Urca neighborhood. Ride a series of 2 cable cars en route to the summit, first arriving at Urca Hill, and then continuing to the top of Sugarloaf, reaching a height of 1,295 feet (395m).

We spent an amazing day with the company of saints, nothing to criticize him, he was an excellent guide explained and told us all the stories that the cities of Rio have and took us to know the incredible places of Rio. Very attentive in everything and very organized.
Daniel was amazing and very thorough on the express trip that my girlfriend and I went on. He took us to Sugarloaf Mountain as well as Christ the redeemer. We had a lot of time to explore take pictures and just get filled with knowledge about both iconic places. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking into further their knowledge on Brazil and to explore hitting gems along the way. Thank you, Daniel and the driver as well
100% recommended. The +++ was that we were picked up at the hotel, Barra de Tijuca! The Alexia guide has an incredible energy that spreads joy and takes care of your “Blue babys” Group the vibes and the tour was very enjoyable, very cute photos and curiosities, top!
Spectacular nothing negative we think the girl was very worried about us
Very good guide Jonas! Lots of patience and charisma! The sugar loaf excursion was cancelled by rain and at all times we were accompanied no matter the time
Very punctual and great visit experience. Priscylla and Diogo who were our guides, it was 10/10, very entertaining and gave us a great experience with the history of each area made on the tour, made everything very pleasant. Recommended!
