Great time seeing the sites with our guide Lucas
We had a great time seeing the sites of Río de Janeiro. Lucas was our guide and he shared great information about the city and the sites. He was very patient with our group as it was pretty large.

Itinerary
Santuario Cristo Redentor
We will visit one of the most emblematic landmarks of Brazil in an exciting trip through the heart Tijuca National Forest. The guide will accompany you and point out curiosities on the statue as well as its outskirts.
Sugarloaf Mountain
Considered by many as the most incredible overview of Rio, the Sugar Loaf Mountain is full of adventures and enchantment. Firstly, we go all the way up by taking two cable cars to reach the summit of Sugar Loaf, passing through the Urca hill in between. Occasionally, it is possible to catch up with some adorable marmosets in the bushes arround the visited places. To wrap up the package, the cherry on the cake is the astonishing look we have from the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain.
Escadaria Selaron
The third most visited sight in Rio is completely vibrant and impressive. The Selarón staircase was decorated by Jorge Selarón for roughly 20 years and features a large variety of colorfull tiles from over 60 countries. It is undoubtedly a must in Rio.
Copacabana Beach
We will stop for a while in Copacabana beach to appreciate its charm.
Ipanema Beach
We will climb the rocks of Arpoador to have a glimpse at one of the coolest beaches in Rio.
Praia de Sao Conrado
This is the beach where the paragliders land right after jumping from the Pedra Bonita hill. We will watch a couple of landings before continuing the tour. We will get the chance to get a fresh coconut water.

The tour guide never showed up. With one day in port, this was incredibly disappointing. The phone number provided is not active - the only way of communication is through WhatsApp text. The tour company claimed to have never received the reservation, despite being paid in full and provided evidence of such. However, I was eventually provided a full refund. I would highly recommend ensuring this company is going to arrive in advance.
