Things To Do
Christ the Redeemer
This is a must do when in Rio! One of the 7 wonders of the world and the most beautiful in our opinion : ) We recommend visiting this as part of a guided tour. Most tours include other stops like the Sugar Loaf Mountain, Metropolitan Cathedral and Escadaria Selaron.
