Private Tour: Christ the Redemeer, Corcovado Mountain with Beaches

Summary

Your tour begins with morning pickup at your Rio de Janeiro hotel, where you’ll board a private, air-conditioned vehicle destined for the summit of Corcovado mountain. Ascend via the abundant rain forests of Tijuca National Park to the mountain’s peak, and then disembark for a short climb or elevator ride to the summit, whereupon Christ the Redeemer reigns supreme over Rio. Absorb striking panoramas of the Atlantic Ocean, dense rain forest, and pristine beaches before gazing up at the outstretched arms of one of the New7Wonders of the World. Spend free time taking pictures and then return to your vehicle to descend to the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and São Conrado neighborhood, home to Rio’s largest favela. See, too, Niemeyer Avenue and the iconic Copacabana and Ipanema beach before you're dropped off at your hotel.
