Christ Redeemer Statue and Selaron Steps

Highlights / General details

This is an excellent option to see the best of Rio if you have limited time in the city: it will make most of your time by showing you three of Rio’s biggest attractions: Christ Redeemer Statue, Selaron Steps and, if option selected, the Sugar Loaf; leaving you with more free time to get to know many other wonders in Rio.

After hotel pick ups, the van takes you up Corcovado Mountain through the dense Tijuca rain forest to the 38m tall (125ft) Christ Redeemer Statue. The guide has between 40 and 50 minutes to show the wonderful sights of Rio. From the top, enjoy the spectacular views of Rio and the surrounding countryside.

Riding the van back down, you will visit the charming Santa Teresa neighborhood where laid-backness and tradition meet, but also brings you street art, such as the amazing Selaron Steps.

If you have selected the option, you’ll travel all the way to the top of Sugar Loaf in two steps by cable car. The first cable car takes you to Urca Hill, a vantage point 215 meters high for which already grants beautiful views of Guanabara Bay and its islands. A second cable car takes you up to the top, at 395 meters, were you’ll enjoy splendid views of Copacabana beach, the Santa Cruz fortress and several other beaches. Enjoy this magnificent scenerey for about 45 minutes until you have to get back down to catch the van which will bring you back to your hotel.
