Cristo Redentor, Selaron Steps, and Sunset at Sugarloaf

Description

🧭 What is this tour about?

A modern dome rises in the heart of Rio. Tiles from around the world shine on a unique staircase. And in the background, the sun begins to set behind the Sugarloaf.

This is how this experience is lived: an afternoon where history, art, and nature intersect in their best versions.

Visit the Christ the Redeemer, walk through the Selarón Steps and the Metropolitan Cathedral, and end the day with the perfect postcard: the sunset from one of the world's most famous viewpoints.

🎯 Why choose this tour?

🗿 Christ the Redeemer in the afternoon, without crowds
Go up in an air-conditioned van to Corcovado and arrive at Christ when the light begins to soften. The view is stunning... and much quieter than in the morning.
🎨 Selarón Steps: a living work of art
Jorge Selarón started by decorating a single step with broken tiles. He died never stopping sticking ceramics. Today, each visitor completes his work. A stop to look, touch, and feel.
⛪ Metropolitan Cathedral: surprising architecture
A modern pyramid in the heart of Rio. Its interior, with giant stained glass windows and natural acoustics, can accommodate up to 20 thousand people without a microphone.
🌇 Sunset from the Sugarloaf
The sun tinges the mountains with gold, the bay reflects the last rays, and the city gradually lights up. From the top of the Sugarloaf, Rio looks more alive than ever. A perfect farewell to the day.
