Overview

About This Tour

Visit Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain on the same private tour, then choose which one you want to save for sunset.

Two landmarks. One sunset. You choose the viewpoint. Both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain are included. You visit both attractions — you simply choose where you want to watch the sunset.

Choose the 6-Hour Private Sunset Tour for the two attractions, sunset and return within six hours from pickup to final drop-off. Choose the 8-Hour Sunset + Dinner Tour to continue to a restaurant in Copacabana, Ipanema or Leblon, with your licensed guide and separate professional driver still on duty through the final return. The complete service, including the drive after dinner, must fit within eight hours from the original pickup.

Dinner is not included. Meals, drinks, service charges, reservation deposits and other restaurant expenses are paid directly by the customer. You may choose the restaurant or ask us for recommendations; reservations depend on availability and each restaurant's policies. During dinner, the driver waits and the guide remains available for communication and logistics. The guide may join the table only if both the guests and guide prefer.

For sunset at Sugarloaf, the order is Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, then sunset at Sugarloaf. For sunset at Christ, the order is Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, then sunset at Christ. The viewpoint changes the order, not the price.

The preferred access to Christ is the Corcovado Train. Its ticket and Christ admission are included. Paineiras official transportation is used only in exceptional circumstances when there is no viable train alternative. Tickets are arranged in advance, but official boarding, security, access procedures and possible waits still apply; Christ is not a fully skip-the-line visit.

Sugarloaf cable car tickets are included with priority, skip-the-line access. This reduces time in the regular boarding line, although brief operational waits can still occur.

Your licensed guide stays with the group at the attractions. A separate professional driver manages the private air-conditioned vehicle, traffic, parking and the next pickup point. On the eight-hour option, both remain in service until final drop-off.

Pickup and drop-off are available at any address within the city of Rio de Janeiro, including hotels, Airbnbs, private residences, Galeão Airport, Santos Dumont Airport and the cruise port. Vehicle type depends on group size. The exact pickup time is confirmed for your date because sunset time, chosen viewpoint, pickup address and attraction logistics all affect the schedule. Clouds, rain and visibility can change sunset conditions, so specific colors or a clear sky cannot be guaranteed.
