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. 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.

Enjoy an easy ride on glass cable car as you make your way to the top of Urca Hill, 215 meters above sea level for spectacular views of the entire bay and its surrounding islands. From Urca Hill, you will take another cable car to reach the top of Sugar Loaf, 395 meters above sea level. Discover a panoramic view of the entire city including Botafogo and Copacabana Beaches, Corcovado Mountain and downtown Rio de Janeiro from here.

Afterwards, we descend the mountain and stop for a delicious lunch at “Assador”. Enjoy unobstructed views of Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf and the Burle Marx gardens as you munch on delicious meals. 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! Sides include a good selection of fresh salads, vegetables, and a table of charcuterie and Brazilian artisanal cheeses.

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.

After breakfast, we will visit the Argentinian side of the falls, where we will enjoy amazing views from different angles. Entering through the visitor center, several walks are carried out in the jungle to admire the giants of this green world, the jungle that gives us its aromas, its colors, its freshness, a unique contact with this increasingly scarce biome in the world.

The walkways offer wonderful visits to the falls and the opportunity to be in contact with the fauna. From colorful insects like dragonflies, butterflies, and beetles; the curious coatis and monkeys; great variety of birds such as magpies, jotes and toucans; and there are days when we are surprised by the timid look of a roe deer, a capybara or even a puma watching the pass from the edge of the mountain. A ride on the narrow-gauge train completes Las Delicias for adults and children, it is a service that links the 3 different circuits or walkways of the National Park; lower, upper and devil's throat.

You can also combine today's tour with optional water rides or a Jungle Safari. After the tour, head back to your hotel.
