Sunset Tour of Rio with Christ the Redeemer Tickets

Join this unforgettable journey through Rio’s most iconic sights as the sun paints the sky in fiery hues. Feel the city’s pulse—from the lively streets of Santa Teresa to the serene heights of Corcovado—while soaking in stories, flavors, and views that linger long after you leave.

Tour Overview

Picture this: warm golden light spilling over sugarloaf peaks, the hum of samba drifting through cobblestone alleys, and the gentle breeze carrying the scent of tropical blooms. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a love letter to Rio. You’ll wander through hidden gems and world-famous landmarks with a local guide who shares the city’s soul, not just its history. By sunset, you’ll understand why Cariocas (as locals call themselves) say Rio isn’t a place you visit—it’s a feeling you carry home.

Journeying through Christ the Redeemer

Standing beneath Christ the Redeemer, you’ll feel the weight of wonder—not just from the towering statue, but from the panoramic vista unfolding below. The city sprawls like a living postcard: emerald forests, sapphire bays, and the Atlantic’s endless shimmer.
As the sun dips, the statue glows amber, casting long shadows over the mountain. It’s quiet here, almost sacred—a moment to pause, breathe, and let Rio’s magic sink in.

Memorable Moments

• Laughter in Lapa: Sip a caipirinha at a hidden bar while a street band plays, and strangers become friends over shared stories and spontaneous dance.
• Selarón Steps surprise: Climb the famous tiled staircase as locals share tales of the artist’s passion—then turn around for a secret sunset view.
• Boat ride serenity: Glide across Guanabara Bay as the city lights flicker to life, the cool breeze tangling in your hair.

What's Included

Your journey is thoughtfully crafted to immerse you in the heart of this breathtaking destination—where every detail is designed to delight, inspire, and leave you with stories to cherish. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be wrapped in warmth, authenticity, and the kind of hospitality that feels like coming home.

• Seamless private transfers—because the adventure should begin the second you land. A friendly local driver will greet you with a smile (and maybe a cold drink) to whisk you away in comfort, whether it’s from the airport, between cities, or to that hidden hilltop village you’ve been dreaming of.
• Handpicked accommodations that tell their own stories. Picture waking up in a sun-drenched riad with bougainvillea spilling over the walls, or a boutique lodge where the fire crackles as you swap tales with fellow travelers. Each stay is chosen for its character, not just its stars.
• Meals that taste like tradition—and love. Breakfast spreads of fresh fruit, warm bread, and honey drizzled from local combs. Lunches under olive trees where the wine flows as freely as the laughter. Dinners prepared by families who’ve perfected recipes over generations, served with pride (and seconds, if you ask nicely).
• A dedicated local guide who knows the difference between a tourist and a traveler. They’ll share not just the history of ancient ruins or the secrets of a bustling market, but the jokes, the legends, and the quiet corners where the soul of the place truly lives.
• Unforgettable cultural encounters that go beyond the surface. Try your hand at weaving with artisans whose craft has been passed down for centuries. Learn to cook a regional dish from a grandmother in her sunlit kitchen. Or lose yourself in the rhythm of a traditional music session under a star-strewn sky.
• Exclusive experiences you won’t find in guidebooks. A private sunrise over a sacred temple before the crowds arrive. A boat ride on tranquil waters with only the sound of oars and birdsong. A candlelit dinner in a vineyard, where the constellations feel close enough to touch.
• All the little touches that turn a trip into a treasure: a handwritten note with your morning coffee, a basket of local treats in your room, or a spontaneous detour to a viewpoint that takes your breath away. We believe magic is in the details.
• Peace of mind, always. From 24/7 support to thoughtful surprises when plans shift (because adventure shouldn’t come with stress), we’ve got you covered—so you can focus on soaking it all in.

This isn’t just a list of what’s included—it’s an invitation to travel deeper, connect richer, and return home with a heart full of memories. Your seat at the table is waiting.

Discover Rio de Janeiro's must-sees on this half-day tour, including hotel pickup and drop-off, expert local guide, live commentary in three languages (Portuguese, English, Spanish), and round-trip transportation by air-conditioned van.

With a duration of around four hours, this guided sightseeing experience offers unparalleled views and cultural insights into one of South America’s most vibrant cities.

Face Christ the Redeemer at Corcovado Mountain

Your tour stops at Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain where you will witness the 98-foot-tall statue unveiled in 1931, standing as a symbol of peace and Christianity. The statue sits on a granite peak that reaches an elevation of 2,300 feet above sea level, offering panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro’s skyline and Guanabara Bay. Visitors can spend about one hour here exploring the surrounding gardens and enjoying photo opportunities with the iconic Christ statue in the background. This landmark is unique compared to other religious monuments around the world due to its location overlooking a bustling city rather than being situated within it, making it visible from miles away.

Ascend Sugarloaf Mountain by Cable Car

At Sugarloaf Mountain, guests can ascend via cable car to the summit of this 1,299-foot-tall peak, reaching an elevation of 1,024 feet above sea level. The mountain was first climbed in 1875 when a wooden staircase was built for tourists, but today’s modern cable cars offer a much quicker and more comfortable ascent. Visitors can spend up to two hours here enjoying panoramic views of the city, including Guanabara Bay and Copacabana Beach. Sugarloaf Mountain is unique due to its distinctive shape resembling a loaf of sugar, which inspired its name, making it one of Rio’s most recognizable landmarks.

Explore Selarón Steps

Selarón Steps serves as an open-air art gallery featuring 215 steps covered in colorful ceramic tiles from around the world. The stairs were created by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón between 1990 and 2007, transforming a neglected staircase into one of Rio’s most photographed spots. Visitors can spend about 30 minutes wandering through this vibrant display of colors and cultural influences, making it a must-see for both art lovers and those interested in urban installations.

Admire the Metropolitan Cathedral

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian stands as an architectural marvel with its futuristic design by architect Edgar de Oliveira da Silva. Completed in 1976, this concrete structure features a unique hyperbolic paraboloid roof that resembles five interlocking crosses rising to a height of 208 feet. Inside, visitors can explore the cathedral’s spacious interior, which accommodates up to 5,000 people for religious services and events. This landmark is significant not only for its striking appearance but also as an important place of worship in Rio de Janeiro.
