Parque Nacional da Tijuca
The largest urban forest in the planet. We will take you on a panoramic view. By minivan, we go through the Tijuca Forest and stop at the Visitor's Center inside the Paineiras. This is the place where we take the minivan from the Corcovado to get to the Christ, the Redeemer.
3
Escadaria Selaron
45 minutes
Located in Santa Teresa, the Selarón Steps are famous for its bright and colourfull tiles.
4
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian
45 minutes
The modern archtecture is very different from the traditional cathedrals we see out there. Enjoy the beautiful stained glasses and try to guess the biblical passages they got their inspiration from.
5
Sambodromo da Marques de Sapucai
The Sambodromo is the Carnival Temple and the place we compete every year in the biggest celebration of carnival in the planet.
6
Maracana
Football - or soccer, if you prefer - is part of the Brazilian life. We love to watch the games and share experiences with complete strangers that get together for one purpose: support their team on the field. The Maracanã Stadium is considered our temple and a sacred place for those who enjoy a great game. We can take pictures outside of the Stadium and share stories about our favorite matches.
