About This Tour
Visit Christ the Redeemer, one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World and Rio de Janeiro’s most iconic landmark. On the way to the monument, travel through Tijuca Forest, one of the world’s largest urban forests, adding a scenic, natural dimension to the experience.
After your visit, continue along the famous Paineiras Road toward Santa Teresa, a historic hilltop neighborhood nestled between Rio’s South Zone and Downtown, known for its artistic atmosphere and panoramic city views.
Enjoy lunch at a local bar, browse artists’ studios and craft shops, and visit Parque das Ruínas, one of Santa Teresa’s most emblematic cultural attractions.
The tour concludes at the Selarón Steps, the world-famous colorful staircase that connects Santa Teresa to the vibrant Lapa district.
