Rio de Janeiro isn't called “The Marvelous City” for nothing—and its staggering beauty begs to be discovered from multiple angles. Book a sightseeing package to tick off many of its top attractions in one day, from the evocatively named Sugarloaf Mountain to the sky-high Christ the Redeemer. Then, soak up more magnificent views on a sunset sailing excursion, aboard a helicopter, or, for daredevils, with a paragliding adventure. Other Rio de Janeiro tours will immerse you in the city's vibrant culture, whether you catch a futebol game, watch a samba performance, or dine like a Carioca during a market visit.
