Monday in Rio de Janeiro

The best way to start enjoying Rio de Janeiro is by visiting a famous tourist attraction. That’s why on Mondays our RioLIVE! Activities will take you to places such as Christ the Redeemer or the beautiful Sugar Loaf Mountain. Of course that we will also show you tourist attractions that the Cariocas also enjoy. Visiting the Botanical Garden and taking a relaxing walk in it is also a great way to start the week.

And talking about relaxing walks, Botafogo beach will show you astonishing views of Rio while you walk along it in our tour. So put those on your list of activities do to in Rio.
