Rio de Janeiro
The marvellous city — Ipanema, Sugarloaf and the sea.
— Journey —
Jet 3 h from Buenos Aires
Rio de Janeiro is the cidade maravilhosa — a city of impossible geography where granite peaks plunge into the Atlantic and the beaches of Ipanema and Leblon set the rhythm of the day. FFGR Argentina coordinates arrival via partner chauffeurs at Santos Dumont airport on the bay, beachfront suites at the Copacabana Palace and the Fasano on Ipanema, and helicopter flights past the Christ the Redeemer statue and over Guanabara Bay. We arrange private ascents of Sugarloaf, the cog railway to Corcovado before opening, tables at the city's finest seafood houses, and discreet New Year and Carnival logistics for the world's greatest street celebrations. Rio rewards the traveller who surrenders to its tempo — caipirinha at sunset, the city lights spread below the mountains.
