Today is all about discovering the most iconic and breathtaking sights of Rio de Janeiro. On our full-day guided city tour, you’ll visit legendary landmarks like the towering Christ the Redeemer, the colorful Selarón Steps, the charming hillside streets of Santa Teresa, and the historic vibes of Lapa — all while learning about the city’s rich history, art, and culture along the way.

In the afternoon, we’ll pause for a delicious local lunch, giving you the chance to relax and try some authentic Brazilian flavors. After lunch, we’ll wrap up the day with a visit to the stunning Sugarloaf Mountain — riding the cable car to the top just in time for golden hour views over the city, beaches, and bay. It’s a perfect finale to your first full day in Rio.

Evening is free to explore, unwind, or catch the sunset by the beach with your new travel crew.

 Today is about depth, connection, and experiencing Rio beyond the postcards. On this powerful sociocultural tour of a favela at Rocinha, you’ll be guided by local residents who will share the true history, culture, and daily life of their community — far from stereotypes. You’ll walk through the alleys, visit local initiatives, and have the chance to interact with residents, ask questions, and understand the challenges and beauty of favela life from those who live it.

To close the tour, you’ll be invited to witness and take part in a capoeira experience — a vibrant blend of martial arts, dance, music, and Afro-Brazilian heritage. This class is led by an inspiring NGO that uses capoeira as a tool for education and community building. Half of the proceeds from this tour go directly to supporting this organization and the free classes they offer to local youth.

This is not just a tour — it’s a meaningful exchange that will leave you with a deeper understanding of Rio and its people.

Friday is the perfect day for a tropical escape! We’ll leave early for a full-day adventure to Arraial do Cabo, known as the “Caribbean of Brazil.” Crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and dramatic cliffs await you on this unforgettable boat tour. You might even spot whales, as this is the peak of whale season! Spend the day diving into turquoise waters, soaking up the sun, and taking in breathtaking coastal views. We’ll return to Rio in the evening, just in time for some well-deserved rest. 

It’s Saturday — the perfect time to take it slow and recover from Friday’s day trip. Enjoy a lazy beach day, explore your favorite neighborhood, grab an açaí, or sleep in. In the evening, get ready for our exclusive Brazilian Nightlife Experience: samba, funk, and the vibrant beats that make Rio dance. We’ll hit a local spot where locals actually party — no tourist traps, just real energy and unforgettable memories. 

Sundays in Rio are made for wandering and soaking up local life. This free day is perfect for relaxing, shopping for souvenirs at traditional Sunday street fairs, or ticking off that last item on your Rio bucket list. Whether you want to visit a museum, chill by the beach, or just walk around, the city is yours. In the evening, join an optional samba hangout — something casual, local, and full of good vibes to close the weekend. 

It’s our last full day together, and we’re heading into the wild heart of the city: the Tijuca Forest, the largest urban rainforest in the world. In an open jeep, we’ll explore trails, scenic viewpoints, and waterfalls – a peaceful and green adventure to wrap up the trip. In the evening, we’ll have an optional farewell hangout to celebrate our time together, share memories, and enjoy one last sunset with the crew. 

Time to say goodbye – or maybe just "see you later." After breakfast, we’ll assist with check-outs and organize your airport transfers. If you’ve fallen in love with Rio and want to extend your stay, we’ve got your back! Just let us know — we’ll still be around and happy to help with local tips, bookings, or extra accommodation options.
