Arrive in Brazil’s former capital and meet your transfer to Hotel Fasano Rio, a stylish urban retreat on Ipanema Beach. Spend your first full day discovering the city’s most popular sights, including the statue of Christ the Redeemer, the characterful neighbourhood of Santa Teresa and Sugar Loaf Mountain. Later in the day, get ready for the experience of a lifetime – soaring high above the city on a breathtaking private helicopter ride.
On days three and four, you can get to know the city from a local’s perspective, visiting some of its best beaches on a paddleboarding tour, sampling authentic Brazilian cuisine on a food tour and heading to the vibrant neighbourhood of Lapa at night accompanied by a knowledgeable host.
