Highlights

The flight departing from Sugar Loaf gives you great views from Rio's famous beaches and the Arpoador Rock. You will also get a very nice perspective of the Sugar Loaf. When departing from the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, you will have more time to behold Rio de Janeiro from above and get enchanted with scenic views of Christ the Redeemer Statue with Tijuca Rainforest in background. You will also see Copacabana, Leblon and Ipanema beaches, and definitely fall in love with the charming city!

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).
