About this tour

The tour begins with a hotel pick-up, ensuring a smooth beginning to your adventure. From there, we head to Sugar Loaf Mountain, known locally as Pão de Açúcar, one of Rio’s most recognizable sights. 

You will ride the first of two Sugarloaf cable cars to stop first at Morro da Urca. Here, you can enjoy great views of Guanabara Bay and the city around it.

The final cable car ride takes you to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. From this vantage point, you can admire sweeping views of Rio’s beaches, the Atlantic Ocean, and the lush hills of the Atlantic Forest. Take your time to explore the summit, capture photos, and enjoy the tranquil setting.

Tour to Corcovado peak: stand before Christ the Redeemer statue

From Sugarloaf Mountain, we travel by minivan along the scenic Paineiras route, which winds through the Tijuca National Park. This journey takes us to the base of Corcovado Mountain, home to the Christ the Redeemer statue.

Standing 38 meters tall, this masterpiece is a symbol of Brazil and offers unparalleled views of Rio. After the climb, we`ll have time to take in the panoramic vistas of landmarks like Copacabana Beach, Maracanã Stadium, and the city’s sprawling urban landscape.

Around noon, we return you to your hotel, leaving the rest of the day free for you to explore Rio at your own pace. This tour offers an easy and efficient way to see two of the city’s top attractions. Enjoy the highlights without feeling rushed and make lasting memories!

Erstaunliche Ausblicke und perfekter Service in Rio

Der Rio Express mit Christus der Erlöser und Zuckerhut war einfach erstaunlich! Die Aussicht vom Christus ist atemberaubend und der Zuckerhut bietet eine perspektivenreiche Sicht auf die Stadt. Unser Guide war super informativ und freundlich. Die Organisation von Tangol Tours war tadellos. Absolut ein Muss, wenn man in Rio ist!
