Rio de Janeiro Tour & Helicopter Ride
Today showcases Rio’s diversity and beauty. The tour begins in the Cosme Velho district, where you board a cog railway that climbs through the lush Tijuca Forest to the 710-metre summit of Corcovado.

After descending, there’s time for a photo stop at the legendary Maracanã stadium and the nearby Sambódromo, where the city’s famous Carnival parade takes place.
