Things To Do

Christ the Redeemer

You can’t come to Rio without seeing this one, it’s truly breathtaking in person. The views from the top of Corcovado Mountain stretch across the entire city. It’s one of those pinch-me moments that makes you fall in love with Brazil. Pro-tip: take the train ride for a full experience!

Sugarloaf Mountain

Here’s a refined version with improved grammar, punctuation, and flow: Take the cable car to the top — it’s such a fun experience, and the views are unreal. We recommend going around lunchtime to enjoy some Brazilian food and have a drink at the summit. It’s pure Rio energy — one of our favorite spots.

Praia do Leblon

Leblon feels like the calmer, more elegant sister to Ipanema — same gorgeous stretch of sand, but a little quieter and more local. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, grab a drink at one of the beach kiosks, and just take in the ocean views. One of our favorite beach spots!

Praia de Piratininga

One of Isabella’s parents’ favorite spots — peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a pre-wedding beach day. Stop by Maria da Praia for a delicious meal and stunning ocean views!
