Description

Rio is discovered from above before being lived at sea level. The Sugarloaf cable car rises over Guanabara Bay, and from Corcovado, beneath the open arms of Christ the Redeemer, the whole city unfolds between forest, beaches and mountains that plunge into the ocean.

All seven nights are spent at the same hotel in Copacabana. The downtown tour reveals the cone-shaped cathedral, Flamengo Park and the Municipal Theatre. The rest of the time, Rio is yours: Copacabana's mosaic promenade, coconut water drunk straight from the fruit, sunset in Ipanema facing the Two Brothers. A guided visit to a favela ends around a feijoada to the sound of a trio of musicians.

A semi-escorted stay in French, with an escort you can follow around town or let go, depending on the mood of the day.

Highlights:
-Guided visit of Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car
-Guided visit of Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer
-Festive lunch with a live music trio in a favela
-Seven nights at the same hotel in Copacabana
-Free time to discover Rio at your own pace
