Catch one of the most spectacular sunsets in Rio from Mureta da Urca, a laid-back waterfront area nestled beneath Sugarloaf Mountain. As the sinking sun paints the sky, kick back with a caipirinha, mingle with locals, and soak up the views of Christ the Redeemer and Guanabara Bay.

In the early evening light, your tour guide meets you at your hotel and takes you to Mureta da Urca, a popular area where locals come to drink and watch the sunset. Our tour guide gives you a welcome drink or, to be more accurate, a welcome caipirinha, our national drink.

As the sky streaks with shades of pink and orange, admire the cityscape laid out before you, and marvel at the way the sun casts light on the bay waters and the majestic Christ the Redeemer statue.
