Christ the Redeemer
One of the New Seven Wonders of the World: a 30-metre statue completed in 1931. Arriving at the right time makes all the difference, and Marcio knows the photo angles most visitors miss.
Rio Attractions
The landmarks of Rio, with a local guide.
From Christ the Redeemer to Sugarloaf Mountain: the history of each place, the best time to go and how Marcio combines them into one unforgettable private day.
Tijuca Forest
A scenic drive through one of the largest urban forests in the world, with birdlife, viewpoints and waterfalls minutes from the city. A cool, green pause between landmarks.
Selarón Steps
More than 2,000 tiles from over 60 countries, laid by artist Jorge Selarón as his tribute to the Brazilian people. Marcio shares the stories behind them and helps you find a tile from home.
Metropolitan Cathedral
A striking cone-shaped cathedral whose stained-glass windows rise more than 60 metres. Inside, modern architecture and spiritual calm meet in a space for up to 20,000 people.
Cinelândia Square
The cultural and political heart of old Rio, framed by the Municipal Theater and the National Library. A short stop that brings the city’s history into focus.
Sugarloaf Mountain
Two cable-car rides to the summit, where city, sea and sunset share one view. Marcio plans the timing so you can simply enjoy it.
Maracanã Stadium
One of the most famous football stadiums on Earth. Even non-fans feel the energy, with stories of legendary matches and the players who shaped Brazil’s national passion.
São Bento Monastery
A hidden Baroque gem with an interior covered in gold leaf, a calm contrast to the streets outside. Known for the Gregorian chant at its Sunday Mass.
