Program details
Don´t miss the chance of getting to know the wonders of the city in depth. Rio’s beauty is renowned throughout the globe; a capital of carnivals, a metropolis of marvels and a centre of sensuality.You might feel like you’re travelling back in time as you pass by some of Rio’s historical monuments, but not so with the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro. When in front of this staggering must-see, you might believe you are on the set of a futuristic film. Its dark conic structure reaches for the sky like an alien pyramid. From the inside, admire how the light plays and brings life to its huge stained-glass windows; a strong blend of old tradition with modern design.
While recovering from the awe produced by the cathedral, continue through the lush park Aterro do Flamengo. Another feat of design, its many hues and forms make the park thrive with life. Arrive then at Urca, a delicatessen of a neighbourhood filled with traditional houses and little local businesses. From here, admire one of Rio’s most renowned sites come into view: Sugarloaf Mountain. Ascend to the top of the hill on a fun cable car ride in two stages. First you will rise to the Morro da Urca, a smaller mount preceding the big one. From there you hop onto the cable car that will take you to the single best vantage point for contemplating the panorama of Rio de Janeiro.
