Christ the Redeemer (Corcovado) and Sugar Loaf are unmistakable attractions in Rio de Janeiro. They are accessible by stroller and are well adapted to children. Children will be delighted to take the Corcovado little train or the Sugar Loaf cable car. However, beware of the heat on sunny days, especially Christ the Redeemer.
The botanical garden is a must for a family outing. Your children will be able to see lots of birds (toucans, parrots, etc.) and small monkeys. Don’t forget to take your mosquito repellent!
