From the top, you'll see Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the beaches of the South Zone, Pedra da Gávea, and much more, all in a single view that few tourists have the chance to witness. A swim in a waterfall After the climb, the reward: a relaxing swim in the Sorimã Waterfall, a natural, cool, and little-explored refuge, perfect for renewing your energy. A trail off the tourist track No crowds. This is an alternative route, guided by a local resident who shares stories, curiosities, and guarantees a safe and authentic experience.

About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro sweeps between mountains and ocean, a city of famous beaches, granite peaks, samba rhythms and a carnival known around the world.

Christ the Redeemer stands with open arms atop Corcovado, looking down on the city, and cable cars climb Sugarloaf Mountain for views across Guanabara Bay. Below, the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are the stage for daily life, with volleyball, kiosks and the wave-patterned promenade, while Leblon and Arpoador extend the strip.

Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
