About this activity

Explore Rio's most iconic landmarks from the vantage point of a rugged jeep, combining the bohemian charm of Santa Teresa, the lush biodiversity of Tijuca National Park, and the Christ the Redeemer monument atop Corcovado hill. This compact 5-hour adventure offers a more immersive alternative to standard city tours, with vehicle access to forested slopes and elevated viewpoints inaccessible on foot.

We invite you to take a different tour on a well equipped jeep that will allow us to observe even better the attractions that we will visit during the excursion. 

The CORCOVADO HILL + TIJUCA FOREST + ST. TERESA - JEEP TOUR begins with a visit to the traditional neighborhood of Santa Teresa, and from there, to the Tijuca National Park, where the Cerro Corcovado is. At its top is located the monument Christ the Redeemer, a typical postcard of Rio, and our tour offers the possibility to climb to its top, to admire a stunning view.

Highlights

  • ✓Visit Santa Teresa's colonial architecture and street art in Rio's oldest neighborhood
  • ✓Navigate Tijuca National Park's winding roads through Atlantic rainforest canopy
  • ✓Ascend Corcovado Hill to the base of Christ the Redeemer statue
  • ✓360-degree panoramic views of Rio, Guanabara Bay, and Sugarloaf Mountain
  • ✓Small-group jeep experience with local driver commentary

Insider tips

  • ★Morning departures avoid afternoon crowds at Christ the Redeemer and provide clearer photo conditions before clouds settle on the peak
  • ★The jeep provides shade and mobility advantages over the popular train; ask your driver about less-photographed forest viewpoints along the Tijuca routes
  • ★Santa Teresa's steep cobbled streets are best explored early in the tour when energy is highest

Good to know

  • •Bring sun protection (SPF 30+), water, and a light rain jacket—Tijuca rainforest can experience sudden showers
  • •Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip for the jeep's open seating and potential short walking sections
  • •Hotel pickup typically included; confirm exact meeting location and time when booking
  • •The final ascent to Christ the Redeemer may involve additional ticketed entrance fee (verify with operator)
