I will be in Rio (staying at JW in Copacabana) and my I'll be there for roughly 48hrs.

It's a short trip in a huge, huge city so I am trying to figure out the priorities.

1. Chill around Copacabana beach (kind of hard to miss)
2. Go to Christ Redentor
3. Visit sugarloaf mountain

I'll be arriving Sunday late afternoon and flying out on Tuesday night. Would it be possible to visit Christ Redentor/ Sugarloaf in same day? Maybe start the day by going towards Christ Redentor and end with sunset at sugarloaf?

I am traveling alone (no family) so I could do public transport or cab. Whatever is most convenient and reasonably priced. I am not on a budget but don't want to spend excessively on cabs either.

I'd prefer to spend time around Copacabana on Tuesday because my luggage will be at the hotel. I can pick that head to GIG straightaway.

Would much appreciate some suggestions.
