The tour starts as you travel along the Sol Nascente Route on your way to the well-known beach of Canoa Quebrada. Located just 156km away from Fortaleza, in the district of Aracati, Canoa Quebrada is a paradise beach, perfect for those that look for the mystic and exotic landscapes that Brazil is famous for!

Surrounded by cliffs that act as belvederes, Canoa Quebrada appears to have stopped in time! All its simplicity is declared when you meet the natives and in the beach huts that serve a great variety of dishes made on seafood.

The buggy rides in the dunes will give you the full sensation of being on a rally in the middle of the desert. The sea bathing in its small bay protected by reefs, will provide you with a peacefulness that can only be felt in Canoa Quebrada!

Optional Extras: Available for purchase locally -

• Fresh Seafood From Beach Huts
• Dune Buggy Rides
• Reef Protected Bay

This is an excellent option to see the best of Rio de Janeiro if time is limited. Two of the best tours combined to make one great day!

Corcovado Tour
The tour begins as you head to the Cosme Velho station to catch the cog train (ticket is included) for a journey through the dense Atlantic Rain Forest of Tijuca, and on to the statue of Christ Redeemer on Corcovado mountain. You will spend between 40 and 60 minutes here with your tour guide, who will show you the wonderful sights of Rio.

After the morning tour, relax and enjoy lunch at a seafood restaurant.

Sugar Loaf Tour
In the afternoon, join the Sugar Loaf tour, driving by downtown Rio, with its fine colonial-style Portuguese buildings, and continuing on to the cable car at Prai Vermelha (red beach). A ride to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain gives the visitor a wonderful view of the city nestling between the mountains and the sea, and the sight of the sun going down over Copacabana beach is magical.

On this tour you will combine three great Rio de Janeiro destinations in the one tour:

• The Botanical Gardens - a 350-acre garden that holds about 7,000 tropical species, including native Brazilian plants. A popular feature of the garden are the avenues of royal palms that measure approximately 100 feet (30 meters) high.
• Maracana Stadium - the giant stadium that accommodates over 100,000 people and has been host to many championship games over the years, including the World Cup match of 1950 and Pele's last game.
• The Mac Museum of Contemporary Art in Niteroi - designed by Brazil's most famous architect, Oscar Niemeyer. The museum boasts stunning views to Rio de Janeiro across the river.
