Itinerary:
With sunshine, beautiful bays and seaside pavements, Rio de Janeiro is a city made for exploring by bike. Discover some of its most beautiful sights, and get your adrenaline pumping, on this Rio bike tour.
Head off from General Osório Square, cruising along majestic Ipanema beach. Explore the streets, people watch in one of the city’s most scenic locations and learn about how this neighbourhood has been inspiring artists for decades. Leave the beach behind, cycling through picturesque Allah’s Garden towards the massive Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, known simple to locals as the ‘lagoa’.
Stop by the lagoon’s main entertainment area to enjoy a refreshing coconut water break and soak up the atmosphere of this popular spot. Completely refreshed, cycle through the botanical gardens, jumping off your bike to enjoy a walking tour. Admire the stunning Imperial Palms, take in the peaceful Japanese Garden and admire the vast orchid collection in the green house.
Jump back on your bike, cycling back along the lagoon to reach Catacumba Park. This tropical ecological park is one of Rio’s best kept secrets, housing an open air sculpture museum, as well as a trail through the forest that offers one of the most scenic views in all the city.
Cruise back along the lagoon, passing by Ipanema Beach before ending back at General Osório Square where this Rio bike tour comes to an end.
