Rio Shore Excursion: Christ Redeemer, Sugarloaf and Selarón Steps 6-Hour Tour

Beautiful Vistas of Rio de Janeiro

Our first stop were the Selaron Steps. There were at least one hundred people at/on the steps so it was very difficult if not impossible to photograph the iconic steps to appreciate the workmanship it took to create them. Our next stop was to see Christ the Redeemer. There were 9 people in the tour group and I believe the reason for the small size was because only a small van could maneuver the very winding 2 lane road up to Christ the Redeemer. Once there, we stood in line for more than an hour to get to the base of the 222 steps that took one up to the monument OR wait for the elevator. We opted for the elevator which probably took another 15-20 minutes waiting in another line to get on the elevator. After getting off the elevator, there was an escalator which ended at the base of the monument. One had to be mindful of the hundreds of people at the monument, some sitting on the pavement, some lying down on the pavement to capture a picture of Christ the Redeemer. It was a fantastic monument to view and a beautiful overlook of the city. Luckily it was a clear, cloudless day ! Our final stop was Sugarloaf Mountain which is comprised of two mountains, Morro da Urca and Sugarloaf. We took a 65 passenger cable car to get to Morro da Urca where we had a view of Christ the Redeemer in the distance, and a beautiful vista of the city. There are several food establishments @ Morro da Urca where our guide suggested we take a break as there was a long line to catch the 2nd cable car to Sugarloaf. When we reached Sugarloaf, there were spectacular views, one of which was Copacabana Beach.

Afro Walking Tour - Samba and resistance (Pedra do Sal)

Unique experience

Very interesting and enriching the Walking tour that addressed the history of the enslaved in Rio, the community known as Little Africa and the Stone of Salt. The guide Rafael made all the difference to make the experience interesting and lightweight despite the theme. Super indicate the walk.
