Leisure & Activities

Christ The Redeemer
This iconic art deco statue towers over the city of Rio de Janeiro. It stands on a platform, 709m high in Tijuca National Park. The statue itself is 30m high, and can be reached by a railway system climbing up the steep gradient. The base of the statue incorporates a small chapel which is very popular for weddings.

Rio de Janeiro Carnival
If you can time your visit to Brazil to coincide with the Rio Carnival you’re in for a once in a life time experience. It is held every year before Lent and is considered to be the biggest carnival in the world with up to 2 million people on the streets. The sights and sounds are truly spectacular with all manner of brightly coloured costumes and amazing floats.

Amazon Rainforest
One of the best places to base yourself, if you would like to experience the Amazon rainforest, is the town of Manaus. From there, you can take several different boat trips along the Amazon River into the heart of the rainforest and the network of rivers. There is a fantastic array of wildlife including sloths, monkeys, parrots, caimans and toucans.
