Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Rio de Janeiro

Arrival at Rio de Janeiro airport, meeting. Transfer to the hotel. Free time.

Rio is green hills, blue skies, rocky mountains, coves, islands, beautiful beaches... the second largest (after São Paulo) city in Brazil and, of course, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. If you arrive before dawn, you will see green hills, rocky mountains, palm trees on both sides of the road and beautiful bays on the way from the airport. At nightfall, the city is surrounded by a shimmering necklace - these are the lights of the favelas! We spend the rest of the day at our discretion. Maybe someone will want to see and feel the exuberant life of the city as soon as possible. And someone wants to be alone with themselves, then there is always a corner for this somewhere between palm trees, sand and ocean waves.

Day 2

Rio de Janeiro

Breakfast at the hotel.

Sugarloaf Tour (4 hours)

The first stop will be on Mount Urka, which has a wide observation deck. On Sugarloaf Mountain itself, there is a smaller platform, but it offers a beautiful view of Rio, Copacabana Beach, the bay, the surrounding mountains, islands in the ocean, the bridge to the city of Niterói, and the statue of Christ. Then you will go to the central districts of old Rio, where you will admire several ancient churches, monasteries, the main Cathedral of the city, as well as buildings built in the colonial style.

Additionally, you can order a helicopter flight over Rio - from 230 USD

A helicopter flight gives you the opportunity to fully enjoy the beautiful views: the blue ocean, mountains overgrown with tropical greenery, snow-white beaches, yachts and the whole city: the statue of Christ the Savior, the Botanical Gardens, the lake, Niemeier Avenue, Leblond, Ipanema, Copacabana, Sugarloaf beaches. Duration from 10 to 30 minutes.

We recommend you to eat the famous Brazilian meat at the Fogo de Shao restaurant overlooking the Sugar Mountain (75 U$)

In the evening, a fantastic, grandiose action awaits you – the long-awaited Carnival! From the hotel we will go to the Sambadrome, a specially equipped venue for the world-famous show. Throughout the night, representatives of the most famous Samba schools in Brazil will march in front of you, competing for prizes schools, and their incredible costumes and moving platforms. It is impossible to describe this incredible sight in words! The grandiose riot of emotions and passions, music and dances, and unbridled fun reigning around, will be remembered by you for a long time! After the end of the Parade, we will take you back to the hotel to relax after the exciting events.

Day 4

Excursion to Mount Corcovado to the statue of Christ (4 hours)

Arrive at the station, where an open, environmentally friendly train starts and heads through the jungle to the top of Corcovado Hill. On both sides of the railway, there are breathtaking views of the Tijuca forest. At the top of the Corcovado hill, at an altitude of 710 m above sea level, rises the symbol of Rio - the statue of Christ the Savior (38 m), which was erected in 1931. The observation deck offers a breathtaking panorama of the metropolis and its surroundings: the bridge in Niterói, Guanabara Bay, the Botanical Garden, the world's largest stadium Maracanã, Sugarloaf and much more.
