Tour Itinerary

Tijuca Forest

We begin the tour by crossing the Tijuca National Park, one of the largest urban rainforests in the world, located in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Declared a national park in 1961, it was reforested after years of agricultural use and is now home to a rich diversity of wildlife. It's common to spot monkeys, toucans, butterflies, and other local animals.

Taunay Waterfall

Next, we stop at the Cascatinha Taunay, a 30-meter-high waterfall surrounded by lush greenery and rocky formations. It’s one of the most photographed spots in the park.

Mayrink Chapel

A short stop at the charming Mayrink Chapel, a pink 19th-century church that forms part of the park’s historical heritage.

Vista Chinesa

From the Vista Chinesa lookout, you’ll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Rio’s southern zone, including Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, Ipanema, Leblon, and part of Guanabara Bay.

Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Hill

The highlight of the tour: visiting Christ the Redeemer, one of the most iconic monuments in the world. We reach the top of Corcovado Hill comfortably by minivan, driving through the Atlantic Forest. At the summit, you’ll have a stunning view of Rio de Janeiro and a perfect spot for photos with the arms-open statue overlooking the city.
