IN ENGLISH - Panoramic City Tour - By Jeep
A panoramic jeep tour. By one side you will have the company of green hills and residential neighborhoods and by the other the blue sea’s breeze. In this atmosphere you can enjoy the “carioca spirit”, of which good humor and joy are recognized by all its visitors, who immediately feel the desire to behold its beauties.
This tour starts with a view of the Sugar Loaf from Botafogo`s beach, which is a natural, historical and touristic point of Rio de Janeiro, with its ogive format, privileged location, special presence in the city’s story, original access to its top and serving as a reference to navigators from the sea or from the skies.
Next stop: Little Squares Monument. This monument is kept by an alternation of the three Arm Forces: Army, Navy and Aeronautics; in him are the remains of the Brazilians Expeditionists who fought and fell at the Second World War. They were brought from the Cemetery of Pistoia, in Italy, in 1960.
We continue our tour to the historical downtown of Rio de Janeiro, at March first street where we will visit the Palace of Tiradentes, the old Imperial Palace, the Brazil Bank Cultural Centre, the Post-Office and Telegraph Cultural Centre and the Carmo Churches.
After we enter in the Main Avenue of Downtown, the President Vargas Avenue, we will found the Candelaria church, a marriage stage for the carioca society.
We follow our adventure straight to Maracanã, the biggest stadium in the world, where the cheerers make a show, explaining why soccer is a national passion.
Returning to the hotel we will pass by Sambódromo, with 700 meters of length and a capacity for 88.500 people, where happens one of the greatest spectacles of the planet, the carioca Carnaval. After that, we will pass by the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, created in 1676.
In a panoramic tour like this we couldn’t think of not passing by the famous Lapa Arcs, an aqueduct, in roman style, composed of a double rank of Arcades, and the awesome Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro, a stage for great presentations.
To finish this wonderful tour, nothing would be better than a breathtaking vision from the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, framed by mountains and embraced by the Christ Redeemer, impressing the visitor with the sunset and its gold reflex on the Lagoon’s placid and silent waters. As it happens, this place, connected with the sea by the Alah’s Garden’ duct between Ipanema and Leblon, becomes a great meeting point for the cariocas and the visitors.
