Best of Brazil
Day 1-Rio de Janeiro
Meet your tour conductor at the Rio de
Janeiro airport and transfer to the selected
hotel.
Your tour director will provide you with
some introductory information to Rio
de Janeiro as you arrive. You will see the
famous Tijuca Rainforest that hosts the
Christ Redeemer statue.

Day 2-Rio de Janeiro
Today you will see why Rio is considered
one of the most naturally beautiful cities
in the world. The exceptional urban
setting encompassing the key natural
elements that have shaped and inspired
the development of the city: from the
highest points of the Tijuca National Park’s
mountains down to the sea is considered
by UNESCO of value to global heritage.
This also includes the Botanical Gardens,

established in 1808, Corcovado Mountain
with its celebrated statue of Christ, and the
hills around Guanabara Bay, as well as
the extensive designed landscapes along
Copacabana Bay that contributes to the
outdoor living culture of the city. These
natural features of Rio are among the
most popular mentions in famous classic
Brazilians songs of all genres.
Today we’ll visit the famous Christthe-Redeemer statue. From the top of
Corcovado, the views are breathtaking.
Enjoy lunch at the historic Cafeteria
Colombo, in Rio’s downtown. Not only it
is known to be one of the best restaurants
in town, Colombo’s well-preserved art
deco style architecture and decoration is a
historic attraction itself.

district where a cable car rides up Sugar
Loaf Mountain which rises 396m above

the harbor and delivers incredible views
from all around.

Day 3-Rio de Janeiro
After breakfast depart for a half day tour of
the Bonical Garden.
Rio de Janeiro’s Botanic Garden is one
of the ten most important ecological
sanctuaries in the entire world. The Garden,
founded by Dom João VI in 1808 as an
Acclimation Garden for exotic plants, it
was transformed over nearly two centuries
into the Research Institute of the Botanic
Garden of Rio de Janeiro. Although the
collection is composed mainly of Brazilian
species, there are also foreign plants and
hybrids. The 140-hectare park lies at the
foot of the Corcovado Mountain, far below
the right arm of the statue of Christ the
Redeemer and contains more than 6,000
different species of tropical and subtropical
plants and trees, including 900 varieties
of palm trees. A 750 m line of 134 palms

forms the Avenue of Royal Palms leading
from the entrance into the gardens. These
palms all descended from a single tree,
the Palma Mater, long since destroyed
by lightning. Visitors can stroll along the
pathways of the park to the sounds of native
birds like the “curios” and the “sabiás.” The
exuberance of nature in all its colors and
glory provide images that visitors will keep
in their memories and souls forever.
