Small-Group Ultimate Bike Tour from Rio de Janeiro

See Rio by bike on this 7-hour tour of the South Zone and Old City of Rio de Janeiro. With a small group, see popular beaches such as Copacabana and Ipanema before visiting the colonial area of Lapa, the historic city-center and the Selarón Steps. As you ride the bike, stop for wonderful views of the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Mountain. A typical Brazilian lunch and biking equipment is included.

Meet your guide in the Copacabana neighborhood (Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana 1085) at 9am and get equipped with your bike and helmet. The group is limited to 10 people, to ensure personalized attention from your guide.

Begin with a tour of the South Zone, including the famous beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema. After the waterfront areas, head north to cultural neighborhoods like Botafogo, Urca, Gloria, and Flamengo. As you walk the streets of these neighborhoods, your guide tells tales and gives background history. Next, move on to the old city center where you will stop at the bohemian district of Lapa.

Continue on to Rio's center and stop in Cinelandia Square, which will transport you back to Rio´s colonial past. Visit the famous mosaic steps, Escadaria Selarón, and get acquainted with a different, colorful side of the Rio. After, enjoy a traditional Brazilian lunch at a nearby restaurant. The last stretch of the cycling tour passes by the beautiful lake, officially named Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, encircled by hills covered in Atlantic rain forest.

The tour is about 7 hours total and ends back at the meeting point in Copacabana.
