Meeting Point

Riode Janeiro City

Barra da Tijuca Point View

Our first stop is the Quebra-Mar, a scenic viewpoint where you’ll get a stunning perspective of one of Rio's most underrated beaches—highly popular among locals but often missed by tourists. This area is more residential than other parts of the city, featuring a beautiful 13-kilometer (about 8 miles) stretch of coastline.

Joá Pointview

Next, we’ll stop to admire Praia do Joá, a hidden beach nestled inside a private residential area, only accessible via a mountain trail. Although we won't hike down due to time constraints, the view from above is truly worth it. Known mostly by locals, this secluded spot is surrounded by lush hills and luxurious cliffside homes—one of the most exclusive and expensive places to live in Rio.

Pedra Bonita

Our next stop is Pedra Bonita, one of Rio’s most iconic postcard views. This majestic mountain, visible from many parts of the city, offers a breathtaking panorama that’s truly unforgettable. We’ll drive up close to the top to take in the view from the same spot where hang gliders and paragliders launch into the sky—an unforgettable experience in one of the city’s most stunning viewpoints.

Tijuca National Park

Next, we’ll enter Tijuca National Park, home to the largest urban reforested jungle in the world. This lush Atlantic Forest reserve is filled with waterfalls, native wildlife, caves, and rich historical landmarks. As we explore, you'll experience the deep natural beauty and ecological importance of this unique rainforest right in the heart of Rio.

Mesa do Imperador PointView

Our next stop is the Emperor’s Table, a large stone picnic table set in the forest, once used by Emperor Dom Pedro II for rest and gatherings during his excursions through the Tijuca Forest. Surrounded by tropical nature, this historic site offers a peaceful atmosphere and a glimpse into Brazil’s imperial past.

Vista Chinesa Pointview

Our next stop is Vista Chinesa, a picturesque viewpoint built in honor of Chinese immigrants who came to Brazil during the Imperial era in an effort to establish tea plantations in Rio. Surrounded by the rainforest, this iconic pagoda offers panoramic views of the city, blending cultural history with natural beauty.
