Rio's three crown jewels — Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the Selarón Steps — in a single, seamlessly paced private day. A licensed local expert curates every moment, from sunrise crowds to golden-hour cable car rides.
What to expect
Your private air-conditioned vehicle collects you at the cruise terminal and whisks you to the iconic Selarón Steps, where the artist Jorge Selarón's 215 mosaic-tiled risers cascade down Lapa in a blaze of colour. From there, ascend Corcovado by rack railway to stand at the feet of the 38-metre Cristo Redentor as the city unfolds 710 metres below. The afternoon belongs to Sugarloaf, riding two consecutive gondolas to the 396-metre summit for a panorama that takes in Guanabara Bay, Copacabana, and the Atlantic horizon. Lunch at a curated local restaurant is included, and your guide personally adjusts the itinerary around your all-aboard time.
Good to know
Pre-book well in advance — private days fill up fast in peak season (Dec–Mar). Confirm your all-aboard time with the guide at booking so the schedule is built around it. Christ the Redeemer tickets should be pre-purchased online to skip the booth queue. Comfortable walking shoes essential; the steps at Corcovado are steep.
