Adventures
Rio Beyond
the Ordinary.
From a sunset above the Atlantic to the high mountain trails of Serra dos Órgãos. Discover Rio through seven days of nature, iconic places and real adventure.
One destination.
Two extraordinary worlds.
Rio de Janeiro is more than beaches and famous landmarks. It is a place where rainforest-covered mountains rise above the ocean, granite peaks frame the skyline, and wild trails lead to unforgettable views.
This seven-day journey brings these worlds together: begin by the coast in Itacoatiara, experience the icons of Rio, then travel into the mountains of Teresópolis for a full-day trek to Pedra do Sino.

Itacoatiara · NiteróiSeven days. A lifetime of memories.
A carefully paced journey from the Atlantic coastline to the mountains. The order below follows your arrival and departure days.
Arrive, unwind & chase the sunset
Settle in, take a breath and ease into Brazil. If arrival time, weather and trail conditions allow, head up Costão de Itacoatiara for a spectacular first sunset above the ocean.
The moment: your first panoramic view over the coastline.
Enjoy Itacoatiara Beach
Spend the day enjoying one of Niterói’s most beautiful beach settings. Swim or relax when conditions are suitable, explore the shoreline and soak up the laid-back coastal atmosphere beneath the surrounding hills.
The feeling: salt air, open horizons and a slower pace.
Sugarloaf Mountain
Discover Pão de Açúcar, one of Rio’s defining landmarks. Take in the sweeping views across Guanabara Bay, the city and the Atlantic coastline. A classic Rio experience with an unforgettable perspective.
The view: Rio, the bay and mountains in one frame.
Christ the Redeemer · Corcovado
Visit the world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Tijuca National Park. Take time to experience the monument and the extraordinary panorama over Rio’s beaches, neighborhoods and green peaks.
The moment: standing above the Wonderful City.
Travel up to Teresópolis
Leave the coastline behind and journey into the Serra dos Órgãos mountain region. Arrive in Teresópolis, breathe the cooler mountain air and enjoy the dramatic scenery as you prepare for the main trek.
The transition: from tropical coast to mountain country.
Pedra do Sino hike
Take on the highlight of the mountain journey: a demanding hike to Pedra do Sino in Serra dos Órgãos National Park. Expect a full day on the trail, impressive rock formations and expansive mountain views.
The achievement: a day immersed in Brazil’s high mountains.
Waterfall morning & farewell
Enjoy one last taste of the Atlantic Forest with a morning visit to a local waterfall, selected according to access and conditions. Then begin the journey for departure, taking home memories of coast, city and mountains.
The farewell: one last moment in nature before you go.
Not just a checklist of attractions.
It’s the contrast that makes this journey special: iconic Rio, quieter coastal nature and a genuine mountain adventure in one trip.
