Cycle Rio’s Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, and lagoon sights in a small-group tour with bikes, helmets, and a bilingual guide.

“We love the pace of seeing sites on a bike. Navigating on the streets of Rio can be dicey if you don’t know your way around with traffic. The city is mostly flat but roads can get bumpy. It was a great way to move around the neighborhoods and get some exercise in too. Make sure to put on sunscreen and bring some water with you.”
