Maravillas de Brasil (incl. vuelos nacionales)

In the morning we will pick you up at your hotel and start our complete tour of one of the most famous cities in Brazil and probably the world!

­ 

The first stop is the summit of Corcovado, the mountain on which the Christ statue stands, which is considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world. From above we will observe the city of Carioca and this extraordinary panoramic view will leave us speechless! Then it goes to the second stage: the Sugar Loaf, a hill that we take the cable car up to.

Our complete tour of Rio de Janeiro also includes a visit to the Maracanã Stadium (from the outside), one of the most important in the world. For a long time it was the largest stadium in the world, but it owes its fame above all to the World Cup in 1950 and 2014. From the outside we will be able to remember the historic games.

­ 

Of course, the Sambodrome, the home of Samba, should not be missing on our tour. This 550 meter long open air building is home to the world famous Rio Carnival Parade, one of the most incredible parties in the world.

­ 

We will also enter the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Sebastian, one of the landmarks of the city, which is characterized by a pyramidal structure reminiscent of the typical religious buildings of pre-Columbian America. Then we will go to the city center to immerse ourselves in local culture, climb the Selarón stairs and cross the arches of Lapa on board our vehicle.

­ 

We will also be offered a buffet lunch throughout the tour of Rio de Janeiro. At the end of the tour we will bring you back to your hotel.

Free morning. 

In the afternoon, we will pick you up from your hotel and drive to the Rocinha Favela, one of the largest in Brazil.

­ 

In this walking tour we are going to talk about the most negative prejudices related to favelas and look at some little known aspects of these places. We will discover the power of teaching concretely by knowing deeply about the educational projects of social reintegration. Thanks to these programs, the residents of the favelas can live legally without having to use violence.

­ 

Contrary to popular belief, you can find many interesting forms of artistic expression in these areas of Rio. In fact, we will see Rocinha's famous street art. Some of the murals are true works of art and the colorful buildings in the neighborhood are masterpieces of the creativity of the Rocinha people.

­ 

Our route also includes a stop at the "devil's trampoline". This is the name of the Gávea Circuit that runs through Rocinha. Its sweeping curves put experienced drivers to the test between 1933 and 1954, during the years when these car races were among the most important in Brazil.

­ 

After visiting the favela, we will return to the starting point in Rocinha and then accompany you to your hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
