The Corcovado stands at the bay of Rio, and is now most recognised for the statue of Christ the Redeemer at the city. The vast greenery that surrounds you is remarkable when viewed against the backdrop of the urban city below: take a hike up one of the many paths, or catch the train departing from Cosme Velho. 

Before heading to the Botanical Gardens, fuel up at the Empório Jardim - a chic deli with delicious home-baked goods and gourmet meals.

Craving meat? Head to Malta Beef Club. Here, you can find some of the best quality cuts in Rio, with a wide array of sides too. A meat-lovers paradise!

Delicious, fuss-free cooking with amazing service and a great ambiance. Savour each bite at Sud, o pássaro verde. The charming decor makes it feel like you are in your grandmas kitchen - what a vibe!
