📍 Suggested itinerary
1. Christ the Redeemer
Rio's greatest symbol and elected in 2007 as one of the New Seven Wonders of the Modern World, the monument sits atop Corcovado Mountain, 710 meters above sea level. The panoramic view is breathtaking—and explains why Rio is called the "Marvelous City."
2. Selarón Steps and Lapa Arches
The famous staircase is a living work by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón, featuring over 6,000 tiles from 140 countries. Adjacent to it are the historic Arcos da Lapa (Carioca Aqueduct), one of the greatest architectural landmarks of Old Rio.
3. Santa Teresa — the Montmartre of Rio
A bohemian and charming neighborhood, filled with studios and artists. A true cultural haven.
4. Olympic Boulevard and Mauá Square
Area revitalized for the 2016 Olympic Games, with incredible views of Guanabara Bay. You'll see:
Museum of Tomorrow
Rio Art Museum (MAR)
The iconic Night Building — first skyscraper in Brazil
The gigantic mural “Ethnicities – We Are All One”, by Eduardo Kobra, with 3 thousand m².
5. Sugarloaf Mountain and Urca Hill
A historic landmark where the city of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro was founded. The cable car, opened in 1912 (the first in Brazil and the third in the world), offers one of the most beautiful views on the planet.

ADVANTAGES OF A PRIVATE TOUR
- Optimize your time and money by visiting and staying in the places you're interested in, without being delayed by other tourists, which unfortunately happens on group tours.
- Private and exclusive tour guide.
- Exclusive transportation, with total comfort. On a group tour, however, transportation is shared and often crowded, putting the health of you and your family and/or friends at risk (COVID-19).
- More detailed explanation, with the possibility of directing the information to your personal interests and those of your companions. An infinite number of questions are allowed, as this is an interpersonal relationship.
- There are no stops at pre-established restaurants and shops or tourist traps.
- Flexible schedules allow you to reach places when they're less crowded. Unlike a group tour, visiting times often coincide with other excursions, causing attractions to be crowded.
- We create tailor-made itineraries to visit only the places you and your travel companions want.
- More time to take photos, explore the sites, and stay where you and your companions are most interested. Without the hassle of tourists who are late, get lost, and disrupt your tour.
- Travel at your own pace and that of your fellow travelers. Stay where you and your companions are most interested. Without the hassle of tourists who are late, get lost, and disrupt the progress of your tour.
