Christ Statue

This 4-hr-tour takes you to the Corcovado mountain-top at the height of 710m a.s.l., partially by means of a cog-and-rack train imported from the Swiss Alps, and an elevator, followed by a set of escaltors, where we see Rio's famous landmark, erected to commemorate the centenary of Brazil's independence from the Portuguese crown. From here the 360º view of Rio is priceless. Then we proceed by car or van (busses not allowed) through the Tijuca jungle, and then along some of Rio's famous beaches.

It's possible to take a short helicopter flight (not included) from a mountaintop near the Corcovado. Or we could hike on paths through the world's largest urban jungle.

As you're paying by the hour, this tour can also be extended, f. ex. by a 'churrasco' lunch at one of Rio's famous BBQ-restaurants. You are always welcome to ask for suggestions.
