We depart from the hotel after breakfast to visit the most famous landmarks of the city and

see the natural beauty of Rio de Janeiro from up above. Over a million tourists each year

visit the world famous ‘Pão de Açúcar’, (Sugar Loaf Mountain), which has become an iconic

symbol of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Rising up from a small peninsula at the entrance of

Guanabara Bay, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of a

concentrated, refined sugar loaf

The journey to the top is made in glass cable-cars. The first cable-car takes passengers to

the top of Urca Hill, which rises 215 meters above sea level and offers spectacular views of

the entire bay and its surrounding islands.

From Urca Hill, passengers continue in a second cable-car to the top of Sugar Loaf which rises

395 meters above sea level and offers a 360 degree view of the entire city including Botafogo

and Copacabana Beaches, Corcovado Mountain and downtown Rio de Janeiro. Afterwards,

descend the mountain and stop for a delicious lunch at “Assador”. This traditional property

comes back to the gastronomy scene fully renovated with wooden textures, stone and rustic

decoration, with an elegant ceiling that enhances the natural light and complements the

unobstructed views of Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf and the Burle Marx gardens surrounding the

dining rooms. Assador gets straight to the point by offering valued meat cuts in its “rodizio”

service and a reduced, but delicious, variety of side dishes in the buffet. Sides include a good

selection of fresh salads, vegetables, and a table of charcuterie and Brazilian artisanal

cheeses. The main showcase is the skewers and boards that circulate the dining room, serving

classics such as Skirt, Picanha, Hump steak, Lamb chops, and Ancho Beef, among other noble

cuts such as Chorizo, Shoulder Steak and Tomahawk. Do not leave Assador without a taste of

their prime ribs which are grilled for 10 hours! Then we will go to the bottom of the Corcovado

Hill. Embark on a comfortable train that ascends the mountain, where the statue of Christ

the Redeemer is located 2,300 ft above sea level. The Christ statue, known as the “wonder

of Rio”, was recently elected one of the 7 "New Wonders of the World". Upon arrival at the

top, guests can use the panoramic elevators or escalators to arrive at the foot of the statute.

There, passengers can enjoy a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro and discover why it is called

the "Marvelous City". Then we go back to our hotel.
