Join a group activity or tailor your own experience according to your soul’s needs… We will visit Praia Vermelha and go up to Morro da Urca with the gondola. From the top the guide will lead you through some of the unique landmarks that can be seen from the viewpoints in the top. The sunset is a must see that we can also offer on beautiful days with clear sky. We will also find out more about one of the most charming neighborhoods in town by the seashore of Urca.
Come with us and appreciate the view from the Sugar Loaf Mountain, one of the most visited touristic attractions. The favorite postcard of the bay. The Sugar Loaf mountain consists of two hills. The higher one is the Sugar Loaf (1030 ft; 314 m), and the lower one is the Urca Hill (722 ft; 220 m). On this tour we will start our trip at the top of the mountain with astounding views to the Guanabara Bay, surrounded by lush seashore by the Atlantic Ocean. From the top, the best views of the most popular beaches including the famous Copacabana Beach, the Christ Redeemer (Cristo Redentor), the city center, and much more will inspire your soul.
If we cover the sunset hour you will have an extra show as the sun sets down and paints the landscape with its billion colors, sparkling golden lights on our retinas, making you wonder.

I have a background MA in Arts Management at the University of Oregon in the USA and I am a professional tour guide since 2014 in Brasil.
I am passionate about nature, culture and the arts. I am an ever adventurous person, always looking forward to connect with diverse cultures and valuing their traditions. I seek and invite you to try out the unexpected, to feel the flavors and vibes, to experience live music, the scents of coffees and cachaças’ spirit, fresh food, and the lush scenery of Rio. Come experience our cultural ancestry through nature and material and immaterial traces. I live each moment with enthusiasm and I share it with people who want to live the same, worshiping life with passion and connecting with others.
