Itinerary
1
Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer
With arms wide open to the Guanabara Bay, the statue of the Christ is a work of art that cannot be compared to anything else. You may seat on the stairs in front of the Christ to take a better picture with the statue on the back. Do not miss the opportunity to take pictures of the city from up there as well.
1 hour and 30 minutes
2
Rocinha
We walk through the alleys, see how the locals live and understand more about their everyday life. Home to thousands of people, the favela is a place of resistance with vibrant culture and lots to see.
We may visit Rocinha or Vidigia. Depends on the day.
