Búzios Beach Resort Hotel
This lovely hotel is located in Armação dos Búzios, a resort town 165km from Rio de Janeiro. Popular with Brazilians as well as international tourists, this lovely resort makes for a calmer, more relaxed base for groups. The hotel facilities are fantastic for active groups - as well as a swimming pool there are also tennis courts, beach volleyball courts and a mini golf course, among other things.
Pousada dos Tangarás Hotel
The Pousada dos Tangarás is located just 120m from Geribá beach in the resort town of Búzios. Decorated in a tropical style, the hotel is ideal for a more relaxed stay in Brazil.
Excursions
Christ the Redeemer
The Christ the Redeemer statue is the most famous attraction on Corcovado Mountain. The statue is 38m (125 ft) high and, therefore, the largest art deco sculpture in the world. Since 1931 when the statue was inaugurated lighting has been added, and in September 2002 came the addition of a panoramic elevator and escalator to make the monument more accessible.
Sugarloaf Mountain
Sugarloaf Mountain is an iconic feature of the Rio de Janeiro skyline. This 396m high mountain offers spectacular views across the city and its beaches. The ascent is in two parts, both by cable car. The first will take you up to the top of Urca Hill, with the second taking you up to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain
Maracaña Stadium Tour
When in Rio, don't miss your opportunity to take you students to see the iconic Maracaña, Brazil's largest stadium!

Creating your perfect sports tour
Your quote will be put together by an experienced Tour Adviser who’ll be an expert in school sports tours and will know the destination really well too. They’ll work with you to create a tour to suit your group’s needs and meet your tour objectives.
