Itinerary

Day 1.Rio de Janeiro / Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

March 02nd of 2025

Check-in and documentation: 12:00 PM
Departure time: 06:00 PM

Rising above the top of the Corcovado, the Christ the Redeemer Statue is one of the Seven Modern Wonders of the World. Overlook this wonderful city from a platform located right below the 125-foot statue or hop on the cable car to the top of Pão de Açúcar and enjoy a different perspective of Rio and the monument itself. Stimulate your senses with Ipanema's and Copacabana's fabulous yet dynamic and famous beaches. If you are looking for a more chill kind of experience, head for the botanical garden that houses about 8,000 species of plants. Do you know to tune? Garota de Ipanema is the world-famous song. Bossa nova, its musical genre, is the result of a fusion between samba and jazz, which originated in Rio back in the 1950s. Speaking about food, the feijoada, a delicious stew made with black beans, pork, or beef and served with white rice and oranges is quite the meal.

Let us take a quick trip down memory lane! Rio de Janeiro was the first Portuguese-speaking South American city to host both the Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games back in 2016!

Being a city filled with rhythm and music almost around every corner, bossa nova was also originated here back in 1950 by fusing samba and jazz.
