Let's visit this nearly 90-year-old monument, with its stunning view already known even before the statue itself.

This viewpoint offers one of the best photo opportunities in all of Rio de Janeiro and is often overlooked by agencies as they avoid prolonged stops. Unmissable and highly Instagrammable.

EXCLUSIVE: This unique Rio de Janeiro neighborhood showcases its artistic talent to visitors, with numerous points of interest; because we travel in a 4x4, we explore exclusive corners and paths, avoided by vans.

An open-air work of art, with its vibrant colors. Because we were in a 4x4 vehicle, we accessed it from the top, making the visit more complete and comfortable.

A historic aqueduct from the mid-18th century that today serves as a bridge for the famous Santa Teresa tram.

In a modern style, conical shape, and founded in 1979, it enchants with its colorful stained glass windows and rich symbolism.

EXCLUSIVE: Whenever possible, I try to provide an overview and some details about the Historic Center of Rio de Janeiro, covering the arrival of the Portuguese Royal Family in 1808, the transformations of the capital at the beginning of the 20th century, and the phases of land reclamation until the move to Brasilia.

On our route, we will pass by this important landfill project, heading towards Sugarloaf Mountain.

On our exclusive tour, the route towards Sugarloaf Mountain goes through the beautiful cove that had Queen Carlota Joaquina as its first illustrious resident.

EXCLUSIVE: We visited hidden corners of this iconic neighborhood with breathtaking views and excellent photo opportunities, including the famous Urca seawall, a meeting point for illustrious residents.

At this point you decide: 1) whether you will stay for lunch and take the cable car* OR 2) whether you wish to return to the hotel OR 3) whether you want to go to another point of your preference. *If you choose to take the Sugarloaf Mountain cable car (R$185 per person), allow 2 to 3 hours, thus enjoying 3 distinct moments: the afternoon, sunset, and night. The area is very safe and well-policed, with a large supply of taxis/Uber, just 10 minutes from Copacabana.
