The ticket for the cable car is included, and you’ll have ample time to snap photos and enjoy the spectacular scenery.
Following this, you’ll visit the Maracanã Stadium, a global icon in the sports world. Known for hosting major events, including the 1950 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, Maracanã is steeped in history.
