The easiest way of visiting Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer statue is by taking a guided tour. Ideally, your Rio de Janeiro guided tour should be private — you, your travelling companions, your English-speaking tour guide, and his air-conditioned vehicle.
A guided tour to Sugar Loaf may save you a lot of time, hassle, and queue. In fact, the queues to Sugar Loaf have been increasing more and more as Rio de Janeiro becomes a popular vacation destination.
Christ the Redeemer statue, on Corcovado Mountain, is also an iconic landmark that may require a guided tour, especially on very busy days (which have been more and more frequent even in the mid-season).
