Day 1: Rio de Janeiro
Welcome to the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro! Upon your arrival at the airport, we'll pick you up and take you to a centrally located hotel, allowing you to relax for the remainder of the day.

After soaking in the breathtaking views from Christ the Redeemer, we'll continue our exploration with a cable car ascent to Urca Hill. Another cable car ride will then take us to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain, standing at 395 meters (966 feet) above sea level. Prepare to be captivated by the panoramic views!
The day concludes as we return to your hotel in Rio de Janeiro, where you'll have the rest of the day at your leisure.
