Itinerary and highlights
The largest urban forest in the planet. We will take you on a panoramic view.
We visit the Corcovado Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue going through the Paineiras route. The 20-minute drive to the base of the statue takes you through the Tijuca Forest and gives you a preview of the landscapes ahead. The statue stands 710 meters tall and from this vantage point you have sweeping views of the city.
The cable car ride is done in 2 stages: begin at the boarding station to Urca Mountain (224 meters) and then from Urca Mountain to the top of the Sugarloaf Mountain (395 meters).
