12 Beaches Easy Bike Tour Rio de Janeiro

This cycling route along Guanabara Bay is a journey through Rio’s history and scenery. The ride begins in the revitalized colonial port district, now home to cultural landmarks like the Museu do Amanhã.

You’ll ride past ghost beaches that whisper stories from the city’s colonial past, where beach culture first took root nearly 500 years ago.

The path hugs the coastline, offering unforgettable views: Botafogo Beach, with Sugarloaf Mountain rising above the bay; Flamengo Park, a vast green space perfect for cycling; and the charming neighborhood of Urca, with its preserved 1920s houses and the famous seawall where locals gather at sunset.

Mostly flat and designed for comfort on quality mountain bikes, this 10km route blends nature, history, and culture into an outdoor experience. As a bonus, we accompany you with a tricycle that can carry your bike anytime, and if you’d like to end the ride early, we’ll wait with you at a convenient spot to catch an Uber or taxi.
