Rio Star, Ferris wheel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Rio Star reaches a height of 88 meters and contains multiple climate-controlled cabins that rotate above the Rio de Janeiro landscape.
The Rio Star construction marked a new chapter in Rio de Janeiro's development when it opened in 2019 as Latin America's largest observation wheel.
From the cabins of Rio Star, passengers observe the intersection of urban life, mountains, beaches, and architecture that forms Rio de Janeiro.
Visitors can purchase tickets at the base station, with rides lasting approximately 15 minutes and operating throughout regular business hours.
The wheel features specialized cabins that transform into dining spaces, allowing guests to experience meals while rotating above the city.
