Blessed with a wonderful natural setting, watched over by Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain, and surrounded by tropical forests, Rio is one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
The name Rio de Janeiro conjures more images in the traveller’s mind than any other Latin American city and with good reason. Spend 4 days in the city of Carnival, enjoying a heady mix of beach, nightlife and culture.
A city tour takes you to the must-sees, including Sugar Loaf Mountain and downtown Rio. Then journey to Corcovado, where Christ the Redeemer looks out over the city and the surrounding lush forests and islands. A spectacular dinner and Plataforma cultural show awaits you on night three. Spend your spare time relaxing on the beach, admiring magnificent architecture or tucking into an all-you-can-eat churrascaria barbecue!

Half Day Corcovado
Today, after breakfast, you will explore Rio, Corcovado; just a few of Rio's many world famous sites.
You begin with a drive through downtown Rio, passing by the Sambodrome, the Metropolitan Cathedral, visit the traditional Cinelandia Square with its many historical buildings, the Municipal Theatre, the National Library and the National Museum of Fine Arts.
From one stunning view to another it is now onto Corcovado to stand at the feet of the immense statue of Christ towering above the city of Rio with open arms.
After taking a cog railway to the summit, it is a short walk through the many stalls selling all incarnations of the statue of Christ where you come face to feet with one of the country's and world's most recognizable sites - the Statue of Christ the Redemeer.
From one hand to the other, the statue measures almost 30mts / 98ft. Since it was placed atop the 700mts / 2300ft peak of Corcovado Mountain in 1931, this figure has been one of the most famous symbols of Rio. It weighs 700 tons and is visible night and day from most of the city's neighbourhoods. With stunning views all over Rio it is a photo opportunity not to be missed and never forgotten. The spectacle is truly incredible.
