Christ the Redeemer
Towering above the city, this world-famous statue is one of the New Seven Wonders. The views from Corcovado Mountain are as unforgettable as the monument itself.
Sugarloaf Mountain
A cable car ride up to the peak delivers sweeping views over Rio’s beaches, bay and skyline—especially magical at sunset.
Copacabana Beach
Golden sand, lively boardwalks and a buzzing beach culture. Clients can sip a caipirinha, join a game of volleyball or just people-watch.
Sambadrome & Carnival
Rio’s Carnival is the biggest street party on earth, and the Sambadrome parades showcase dazzling costumes, music and energy.
Tijuca National Park
A tropical rainforest right within the city, with waterfalls, trails and wildlife. It’s Rio’s wild side just minutes from the urban buzz.
