After pickup from a selected hotel in Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana or Leme, the route passes several Rio locations before reaching Tijuca Forest and Paineiras.

At Paineiras, guests transfer to park authority vehicles for the ascent to Christ the Redeemer. The tour then continues to Praia Vermelha and takes the cable car to the Sugarloaf complex.

Real conditions determine the pace Variable duration

What stands out and what to consider
