Day 01

Corcovado Train

Skip the line access by taking the Corcovado Train.

Sugarloaf

The cable car ride to the top of the mountain is done in 2 stages: begin at the boarding station to Urca Mountain (224 meters) and then from Urca Mountain to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain (395 meters).

Selarón

Located in Santa Teresa, the Selarón Steps are famous for its bright and colourfull tiles.

Sambódromo

The Sambodromo is the Carnival Temple and the place we compete every year in the biggest celebration of carnival in the planet.

Maracana

Football - or soccer, if you prefer - is part of the Brazilian life. We love to watch the games and share experiences with complete strangers that get together for one purpose: support their team on the field. The Maracanã Stadium is considered our temple and a sacred place for those who enjoy a great game. We can take pictures outside of the Stadium and share stories about our favorite matches.

Catedral Metropolitana

The modern archtecture is very different from the traditional cathedrals we see out there. Enjoy the beautiful stained glasses and try to guess the biblical passages they got their inspiration from.
