Christ the Redeemer & Copacabana

This tour shows Rio de Janeiro at its most iconic, from the world-famous statue to the legendary sands of Copacabana. Indeed, an early start means reaching the Corcovado before the biggest crowds. Moreover, travel is in an air-conditioned minibus with a small group.

From the Corcovado to the Beaches

The day begins with the drive up to Christ the Redeemer, the landmark that has watched over the city for almost a century. From the platform, the panorama across the Cidade Maravilhosa opens in every direction. Afterwards, the artists’ quarter of Santa Teresa follows, with its villas, narrow lanes and nostalgic tram. Finally, the route reaches Copacabana and Ipanema, where the beach life of Rio is on full display.
