• Parque Nacional da Tijuca - Before the 19th century, Rio de Janeiro was encircled by the Atlantic rainforest. Today, what remains is the 13-square-mile (33-square-kilometer) jungle known as Tijuca National Park. Adorned with tropical trees intertwined by jungle vines, this is the world’s largest urban forest, home to ocelots, howler monkeys, over 300 bird species, waterfalls, and one of Rio’s iconic landmarks, the Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) statue atop Corcovado Mountain.

Experience the exuberant Rococo style in the high altar’s engravings, followed by views of the dome and the Chapel of the Santíssimo Sacramento.
• Maracana - Maracanã has been the backdrop for significant Brazilian soccer classics and historic international soccer moments. Monumental events, such as Pelé’s thousandth goal in 1969, took place on its field. Inaugurated on July 16, 1950, it hosted World Cup games that year and matches in the 2014 World Championship. It also hosted the 2013 Confederations Cup, the 2007 Pan American Games’ opening and closing ceremonies, and the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Beyond sports, Maracanã has been a venue for major events, including concerts by Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and Tina Turner, as well as a papal mass by Pope John Paul II in 1980 and 1997.
• Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer - From the summit of Corcovado Hill, you can admire the Christ the Redeemer statue, standing 38 meters or 125 feet tall, made of reinforced concrete and covered in a mosaic of thousands of triangular soapstone tiles.
