  • Christ the Redeemer
  • Selarón Steps
  • Lapa Arches
  • Sambadrome
  • Maracanã Stadium

Throughout the tour, you’ll have what we call a pirate ship (a super comfortable car with air conditioning) + the captain of the ship (a licensed tour guide) at your disposal to pick you up from your hotel (or meeting point) and take you on this adventure! There’s also a stop for lunch, and we will take you to the restaurant of your choice.
