You will see a staircase and pathway leading to the rocks. If you get there before sunset you will find a few people there but as it gets closer more and more people will come.
We walked down a little to one of the lower rocks and there were only a couple other people near us. As the sun goes down it disappears behind the mountains in the distance and it is so pretty! After the sunset on our walk back we walked through the Copacabana Night Market. It sits in the median of the road across from Copacabana Beach. It was really cool to go to our first night market!
You can buy inexpensive clothing, souvenirs, and lots more. Budget Breakdown. We decided to hit the ground running for our third day in Rio. They both require getting to a location in order to start as well as time spent exploring the area. Once at the top of Corcovado only official vans can drive up to Christ the Redemmer, which is included in your ticket.
You can decide which of the options you want to take to get to the base of Christ the Redemmer depending on how much it will cost but regardless you need to purchase a ticket which includes the van ride to the actual Christ the Redeemer statue.
At the top of Corcovado we bought our tickets in the ticket office and waited about 20 minutes for our time slot. The van ride to the top takes about 15 minutes and then there are a few flights of stairs to get to the top. After spending about an hour at the top, we started making our way back down first getting into the van to take us back to Corcovado and the ticket office.
We tried requesting an Uber back but we stood there for about 20 minutes waiting for it to connect us to a driver and then cancelling. One of the van employees asked if we wanted to take the van for 15 Reals each, we said yes and were waiting when he told us to go in a smaller car. So it total it cost us 30 USD for transportation to and from as well as admission to the top.
Honestly, by the time we got back it was a little pricey for how crowded it was at the statue even in the low season. Sugarloaf Mountain , or Pao de Acucar, is a mountain that overlooks the city of Rio. Like Christ the Redeemer, you can see Sugarloaf Mountain from various points which makes it so interesting to visit at the top. One of the best times to visit Sugarloaf is at sunset because the sun sets behind the mountains and makes the sky look so pretty! Travel Truth : Sugarloaf Mountain was definitely worth the money.
Watching the sunset at the top was one of the highlights of our time in Rio de Janeiro. The views are seriously unreal and it was one of the best sunsets! We would highly recommend it and even though it was really expensive, it was something we both would do again!
Doing both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain is kind of a lot in one day so feel free to spread them out more than we did. Beyond Copacabana Beach lies Ipanema Beach , one of the more famous beaches in Rio and is worth checking out! It has a bit of a different feel than Copacabana. We both said it felt like everyone was younger and a little more livelier whereas Copacabana was a little more relaxed with more families. The location of Ipanema Beach is absolutely beautiful!
Just like Copacabana you can find anything you would want on the beach from the vendors selling food, drinks, t-shirts, souvenirs and more. One thing you will see all over Rio is a drink called Caipirinhas. For 8 Reals, or 2 USD, we each got a caipirinha while sitting on the beach watching the sky turn shades of blue and pink. While visiting new places we try really hard to balance staying on budget by going to the grocery store and cooking while also trying local foods of the area.
So on our last night in Rio we splurged and went to a traditional Brazilian steakhouse. A Brazilian steakhouse usually features a buffet of starters such as salad, meats, etc. Travel Truth : One tip to keep the cost of the Brazilian steakhouse down is to be careful of the price of drinks. Before leaving Rio de Janiero, take a trip to the neighborhood of Lapa to Escaderia Selaron , a tiled staircase that replicates the colors of the Brazilian flag.
It is a great photo spot from all the different colors so make sure to bring your camera! It is about 5 minutes from Ipanema Beach and features stalls around the whole park. You will find all kinds of items such as clothing, handmade things, and so much more! It was really nice to walk through and see everything they had. Colorful ceramics at Lapa Stairs.
A walking tour in Rio is one of the best ways to really immerse yourself in the Brazilian culture and learn more about the history of the city. There are dozens of tour operators and offices dotted around the city to book walking tours in Rio, but in my experience, it can be overwhelming trying to decide which operator to book a tour without being ripped off. Alternatively, you can book a Rio walking tour online in advance to avoid the hassle of having to organize a trip once you have arrived.
I recommend finding a tour that best suits you on the Get Your Guide website. They have a variety of walking tours in Rio that are affordable and reliable! Rio Walking Tours — 2 days in Rio. Last but not least on this itinerary is Christ The Redeemer which is easily the most popular tourist attraction in Rio and perhaps the world. There are a few ways of reaching the summit of Mount Corcovado to visit Christ The Redeemer and they are by walking, bus, or funicular train.
My personal recommendation is to take the funicular train from the train station at the bottom of Mount Corcovado and ride it to the very top which takes approximately twenty minutes. Once you have finally reached the summit you can enjoy the most amazing panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro city!
