Yup Star

Opened in 2019, Yup Star is Latin America’s tallest Ferris wheel, offering a 20-minute ride that takes you 88 meters (288 feet) above the city. From the top, you’ll score a 360-degree view of Rio, including Christ the Redeemer, Porto Maravilha, the Museum of Tomorrow, and Morro da Providência. Tip: bike along the waterfront’s cycling path to make your way there—rental stations are scattered throughout the area.
