Cox & Kings is offering a free helicopter ride over Rio for all departures on its Journey Through Brazil Tour in 2004. The 14 day / 11 night private chauffeur-driven tour costs from �1995, including flights, all accommodation with breakfast and private transfers.

The tour covers the main areas of Brazil, including Rio, the Igua�u falls, the Amazon around Manaus, Brasilia and Salvador, and is excellent value starting at under �2000 per person. All accommodation is based in five-star or the best available hotels.

The helicopter ride offers a spectacular way to enjoy the sights of Rio. All flights go over the Christ the Redeemer statue, and there are various route options, including one that offers a bird's-eye view of the footballing Mecca that is the Maracana Stadium.

Lucy Nicholson, Cox & Kings' Latin America Product Manager, said "Rio has one of the most spectacular locations of any city in the world, and a helicopter ride is the ideal way to see the mountains, islands, inlets and rainforests that form its immediate surroundings."
