The starting point is the urban district “Cosme Velho”, which is located between city center and Copacabana. By using the train you pass the tropical forest “Tijuca”, which is the biggest urban forest in the world. It is also a fantastic place to look over Rio de Janeiro and to see the mountain. The Corcovado has a height of 710 meter. It is possible to scale it by using the train or by using the listed railway (approximately 2.3 miles). On the top there is the monument of Christ enthroned, which you can see at each time from nearly every place in Rio de Janeiro. From this viewing platform you can enjoy one of the most spectacular panorama views in the world.

On one site the sugar loaf and the beaches “Guanabara” and “Niteròi” and on the other the beaches “Copacabana” and “Ipanema” as well as the “Laguna Rodrigo de Freitas” are situated. The Corcovado is located in the middle of the nature park named “Tijuca”, which is a tropical reservation. You can use the tight, double-tracked streets through the compacted vegetation, which pass several beautiful waterfalls and viewing points along their approximately 62.14 miles length in total.

Then we will drive downtown for orientation city tour of the historical/commercial part of the city including Maracanã, Praça XV, etc. Then we will drive along the beaches of Flamengo and Botafogo, to Praia Vermelha at the urban district called “Urca”. From there you use a cable – car to go up to the Sugar Loaf. You have a first stop on a hill called “Morro da Urca” on which several gardens and panorama viewing platforms are located. Arrived at the second stop you enjoy a spectacular view over Rio de Janeiro, its beaches and the bay “Guanabara”. At the horizon you can see the mountain called “Corcovado”.
