Board your air-conditioned transport, and begin a fantastic half-day adventure. Experience the sights and sounds of Brazil's Cidade Maravilhosa - the "Marvelous City" as you travel through downtown Rio with its mix of dazzling high-rises and colonial architecture. Head for the iconic Rio de Janeiro Cathedral. This holy site boasts a unique pyramid design, and captures the visitor's attention with its energy and interior magnitude. The cathedral's four rectilinear stained glass windows soar more than 200 feet from floor to ceiling. After visiting the Cathedral, continue to the Urca District for views of the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain. Hop back on your transport and travel through the Botanic Garden district, driving past Rio's famed Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. Enjoy views of both white sand beaches before continuing back to your ship.
