Begin your Rio adventure marveling at Christ the Redeemer. Stop outside Maracanã Stadium, visit the Sambadrome, home to Rio’s vibrant Carnival parades, and explore the São Sebastião Cathedral. Climb the vibrant Selarón Stairs, then end the day with breathtaking panoramic views from Sugarloaf Mountain via cable car. 

Delve into the powerful influence of Afro-Brazilian culture. Take a walking tour around the Saúde neighborhood, learn about Rio’s history as the world’s largest African slave market, Mauá Square, Cais do Valongo, and visit the Museum of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture. In the afternoon, learn some new moves in Rio de Janeiro during this samba dance class. 

 Spend the day on the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, as Rio prepares for its world-famous New Year’s celebration. In the evening, enjoy a beachfront dinner. As night falls, experience Reveillon right on Copacabana Beach. Witness a spectacular fireworks display, jump in the waves for good luck, and enjoy an unforgettable night of music, joy, and celebration. 

Ease into the new year with time to unwind. The day is yours to explore Rio at your own pace—stroll through vibrant neighborhoods, relax on the beach, or shop for unique souvenirs. Enjoy the freedom to revisit favorite spots or simply soak in the city’s energy. 

Board a catamaran for a scenic sail around Guanabara Bay, taking in views of Rio’s landmarks like the Museum of Tomorrow, Rio-Niterói Bridge, and Museum of Contemporary Art. Capture stunning photos and enjoy a leisurely boat ride. In the evening, celebrate with a farewell dinner, marking an unforgettable journey.
