Santa Ana Savanna and Marsh Birding

Open savanna and marsh birding near Santa Ana in Peten. Distinct habitat with grassland and wetland species including raptors, seedeaters, and marsh birds. GTM-ACT-018.

Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer Climb

In the afternoon you climb Corcovado, taking the train through the forested slopes of Tijuca to the summit at 710 metres. From the Christ the Redeemer statue the view stretches across the city, from Ipanema and Leblon beaches to Sugarloaf and the north zone.

Sunset at Arpoador

End the day on the Arpoador rocks, watching the sun drop over the ocean between Copacabana and Ipanema. It is an urban ritual as much as a viewpoint, and the light makes a simple, unhurried introduction to the city.

Mirante Dona Marta Sunrise Photography

An early start for sunrise at Mirante Dona Marta, a viewpoint that frames Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf and the city's beaches in the first light. A quiet, photographic opening to the day.
