As you depart the airport, you'll glide along the scenic Avenida Infante Dom Henrique, catching glimpses of the Guanabara Bay and the Sugarloaf Mountain in the distance. The route weaves through the charming streets of Botafogo and Flamengo, where the city's colorful architecture and spirited atmosphere set the mood for your adventure.

For a smooth experience, aim to travel during off-peak hours; mornings and late afternoons can see significant traffic. At Dumont Airport, pickups occur just outside the terminal under the “Ground Transportation” sign.
