The Christ statue, known as the “wonder of Rio”, was recently elected one of the 7 “New Wonders of the World. There, passengers can enjoy a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro and discover why it is called the “Marvelous City”.

Afterwards, descend the mountain and stop for a delicious lunch. Later we visit the world famous ‘Pão de Açúcar’, (Sugar Loaf Mountain). Rising up from a small peninsula at the entrance of Guanabara Bay, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of a concentrated, refined sugar loaf.
