Christ the Redeemer and Selaron Half-Day City Tour
If you are short on time, then this is the tour for you. We take you to two landmarks of Rio: the Christ the Redeemer and the Selarón Steps. Starting with hotel pickup, we take you by minivan to the top of the Corcovado Mountain, to see the Christ the Redeemer. We take a beautiful and unique route through Tijuca Forest which is one of the largest urban forests in the world.
