GO Now Tours has prepared a 3-day itinerary full of charm, adventure, and of course, plenty of romance. Get ready to fall even more in love – with each other and with Rio!
Day 1: Magical Sunset and Carioca Flavors
Start the day with a delicious breakfast at one of the charming cafés in Ipanema or Leblon. Then, enjoy the morning relaxing on the beach, walking along the shore, or perhaps taking a dip together. In the afternoon, prepare for one of Rio's most famous spectacles: the sunset at Arpoador. Find a good spot on the rock, embrace, and admire the sun setting behind Morro Dois Irmãos – a truly magical and free moment!
For dinner, we suggest a cozy restaurant in Santa Teresa, a bohemian neighborhood full of charm, with its cobblestone streets and old mansions. Or, if you prefer something more sophisticated, the South Zone offers excellent options with sea views. A toast to love with a caipirinha is a must!
Day 2: Breathtaking Views and Connection with Nature
On the second day, how about a visit to Christ the Redeemer early in the morning? Climbing Corcovado and contemplating the city at the feet of the monument is an exciting experience that yields incredible photos. To avoid lines, buy tickets in advance.
In the afternoon, explore the beauty of the Botanical Garden, an oasis of tranquility with its imperial palms, orchid house, and lakes. It's the perfect place for a hand-in-hand stroll, appreciating the nature and peace of the location. If the couple is more adventurous, a light trail like Pedra Bonita, with views of Pedra da Gávea and São Conrado, can be a great choice, culminating with a romantic picnic at the top.
In the evening, consider a walk around Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, perhaps renting a swan-shaped pedal boat for a fun and nostalgic touch, followed by dinner at one of the restaurants around the area.
Day 3: Culture, Charm, and Sweet Farewell
Dedicate the morning of the third day to exploring Rio's historic center. Visit Confeitaria Colombo, an icon of Rio's belle époque, perfect for breakfast or an elegant afternoon snack. Walk along the Olympic Boulevard, admire the Museum of Tomorrow, and Kobra's Ethnicities mural.
Another enchanting option is a tram ride through Santa Teresa, appreciating the architecture and craft shops. For lunch, choose one of the restaurants with panoramic views in the neighborhood. Before saying goodbye to Rio, how about a final dip at Praia Vermelha, at the foot of Sugar Loaf? Or, if time allows, take the cable car up to Sugar Loaf for a final stunning view of Guanabara Bay, especially at dusk.
