Optional: Maracana Stadium Behind The Scenes
Built for the 1950 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, the Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho, better known as the Maracana Stadium, provided the venue for that year’s memorable decider between the host nation and Uruguay. This was one of the most dramatic chapters in the history of the competition! Once the largest stadium in the world, packing in crowds of up to 200,000 people — among the highest attendances ever seen in the history of the game — the Maracana was completely renovated for the 2014 FIFA World Cup which reduced the capacity to 76,935 for Brazil 2014. It remains, nevertheless, the country’s biggest football ground. As Rio’s second most popular tourist attraction, the Maracana continues to attract football fans from all around the world. Visitors will get to go behind the scenes, passing by the Tribune Press, the locker room, the Tribune of Honour, the cabins, and the Museum; with a collection of relics of the stars who made the history of the temple in world football. This tour will be approximately 3.5 hours long and a minimum of 4 passengers will be required. This tour is only available on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Optional: Half Day Jeep Tour Tijuca Forest
One thing that makes Rio so beautiful is the lush green everywhere. The Tijuca Rainforest, plays a large role in keeping the city green and protecting its water sources. Home to hundreds of species of plants and wildlife, waterfalls, trails, vistas and more, spending a few hours in this jungle refreshes and reinvigorates with ease. You'll visit waterfalls, the famous Vista Chinesa, take an easy trail, and learn about the history of this immense urban forest (perhaps the largest in the world), which was reclaimed from farm land in the 19th century.
