The day starts with a hotel pickup, heading straight to Corcovado Mountain. Perched at an elevation of 710 meters, the location of the Christ statue is an essential sightseeing spot. You can choose to make your climb on train or a van.
The journey up is perfect to explore the green beauty of Tijuca National Park, the largest urban rainforest in the world. Those who wonder how to get to Christ the Redeemer often get surprised by this place`s shocking biodiversity.
At the summit, you’ll enjoy a sweeping panoramic view of Rio. The Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, northern neighborhoods, and famous beaches make up this postal. The panoramic sight is unforgettable whether you stand by Christ the Redeemer at sunset or with the sun up.
After leaving Corcovado, we stop at the legendary Maracanã Stadium for an external visit. This iconic sports venue has hosted some of football’s most historic moments and remains a symbol of Brazil’s passion for the game. After capturing some pictures, we proceed to the Sambadrome, where the world-famous Rio Carnival comes to life each year. Next, we stroll through the Apoteosis Square, preparing ourselves for the upcoming lunch.
