Itinerary
The largest urban forest in the planet. We will take you on a panoramic view.
We visit the Corcovado Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue going through the Paineiras route. The 20-minute drive to the base of the statue takes you through the Tijuca Forest and gives you a preview of the landscapes ahead. The statue stands 710 meters tall and from this vantage point you have sweeping views of the city.
The cable car ride is done in 2 stages: begin at the boarding station to Urca Mountain (224 meters) and then from Urca Mountain to the top of the Sugarloaf Mountain (395 meters).

Good experience for this tour. The guider Carlos is very nice and friendly. He always gave us some extra time to talk pictures. The pickup is on the time.
He lets us know about the culture and history of Brazil, everything very beautiful
clear communication before tour! wonderful time frames for while we were at each location so the day was perfectly split between the 2 areas without rushing.
The tour was very very rushed, we honestly would have been better just ubering ourselves, the only nice thing was not having to navigate ourselves but other than that you are better off going yourself. We only had about 20 minutes at Christ the Redeemer, wish we had our actual time frame but they include the travel and getting the tickets. We enjoyed our 20 minutes just wish we had more time to really enjoy. The sugar loaf was about the same, felt really really rushed. Had no time to shop or try any food.
A very beautiful experience with pleasant people, especially the guide Monica, whom we thank very much for her service.
It was a well planned organization and thanks to our tour guide Lidia made our day easy for us. However, taking each person from their hotel took some time and in addition to that some people from the group did not respect the schedule. After the long day, I took another transport option to return to the hotel. May be visiting these places without any tour is more efficient thats what I thought at the end of the day.
Excellent half tour, we visited the basics and in no time. Well organized!
The “tour” is really mostly transportation to the sites, which was great for our group as we didn’t really want to listen to hours of information, but rather visit Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer efficiently without having to worry about transportation. We were disappointed that we could not be picked up at our hotel in Leblon, since the tour description says it picks up from most hotels in Leblon. We had to walk maybe 20-30 minutes to another hotel for pickup. Tour guide gave us plenty of independent time to take photos and enjoy the sites, which was appreciated.
We booked this tour outside of our cruise. We had a great time at Christ the Redeemer but didn't have enough time to go to Sugarloaf Mountain and make it back to the cruise port in time. The Rio traffic was heavy. The tour guide and van was great. However, disappointed that we didn't get to see Sugarloaf. Needed 6 to 8 hours.
Very good tour, very organized Civitatis, company for which we hired this tour.
