BRAZIL
DAILY TOURS ITINERARY
Day 1. Rio
de Janeiro
After
breakfast, a half day visit to Corcovado, the mountain home to the world
famous, Christo de Redentor statue for a magnificent 360° panoramic view
of Rio. After, a trip to the Tijuca forest considered the largest urban
forest in the world. It has 330 square kms of preserved Mata Atlântica
(Tropical Forest), the highest mountaintops of Rio, waterfalls and hidden
caves. The caves in the Tijuca Forest are formed of limestone and were
originally formed by movements of the crust that caused the collapse of
stones from the Papagaio Peak and the Archer Mountain. These stones
started to form caves with rocky formations.
Another important point is the great variety of bromeliads. The Tijuca
Forest is considered to hold the largest concentration of different
species of bromeliads in Brazil. Even more than the Amazon Jungle. Return
to your hotel.
Day 2. Rio

After
breakfast, a half day visit of the 'marvelous city' including a
sightseeing tour to Sugar Loaf Mountain. A two-stage cable car takes you
