Capoeira is a dance and martial art originally from Africa, now a Brazilian cultural heritage.

atabaque drum and berimbau. Afterward, we head to the Sugarloaf and Morro da Urca mountain range, one of the most stunning natural landscapes in Rio, featuring rich tropical flora and fauna. The excitement of the Sugarloaf adventure starts well before reaching the summit, at 396 meters above sea level. The journey begins with a cable car ride, offering unique views and angles of Rio’s spectacular geography. The first stop is at Morro da Urca, 220 meters above sea level, where you can enjoy views of Guanabara Bay and Botafogo Cove. The second stop offers a panoramic view that includes the bay, much of the South Zone coastline, and Niterói. On the return, we’ll visit the beaches of Botafogo, Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon.

​

Dinnet at Fogon de chao

Known since the 1960s in the southern region of Brazil, the tradition of “espeto corrido” (continuous skewers) allows customers to sample all the available cuts of meat. These cuts are brought directly from the grill to the tables on skewers, letting everyone choose the portion and doneness they prefer.

When Fogo de Chão opened its first location in Porto Alegre in 1979, the concept was to serve various cuts alongside an all you-can-eat salad bar and traditional side dishes. Fogo de Chão caters to all tastes with its high-quality cuts of meat and diverse buffet, which even satisfies vegetarians.

The location is perfect, overlooking Guanabara Bay and practically at the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain, offering a magnificent postcard view of Rio de Janeiro.

Tropical Paradise Tour

There’s a stunning world beyond the hustle and bustle of the city, where lush rainforest-covered mountains meet the crystal-clear ocean waves. On this tour, you’ll discover a side of Rio known only to locals.

This “Tropical Paradise” is located in the western part of Rio, about an hour from Copacabana. Spend the day with us, riding in an open-top Jeep, soaking in the sights and scents, and leaving all your worries behind. We’ll start from Rio’s South Zone and head towards Barra. Once there, we’ll cruise along the coastline, passing endless beaches like Barra, Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Prainha, and Grumari.

We’ll drive past Grumari Beach (don’t worry, we’ll return) and venture over the mountain. After descending, we’ll begin a 2.5 hour hike to explore and ascend the “Telegraph Rock. ” Once at the top, you’ll see why it’s such a well-kept secret. From this altitude, you can take in all of Rio: Pedra da Gávea, the 42 km Marambaia Restinga sandbar, the beaches we passed on the way, and, on a clear day, even the Christ the Redeemer statue. Take your time to relax, breathe, and marvel at Rio’s natural beauty.

After reconnecting with nature, we’ll head back to Grumari Beach in the Jeep. Here, we’ll stop at a charming and secluded wooden kiosk by the beach, where the water is always calm. Enjoy your lunch while soaking in the breathtaking views. You’ll soon understand why this tour is called Tropical Paradise! With full bellies and sun-kissed skin, our return journey to the city hugs the coastline, offering more incredible views. This full-day escape from the crowds is a visual feast and an unforgettable adventure. What to bring: Camera, sunglasses, hat, water, comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate layered clothing, swimsuit, and towel for swimming. Includes: Local guide, hotel pick-up and drop-off, all tickets and entries.
