The Marvelous Tour of Rio

Break out your dancing shoes and samba your way through an array of locations that give the Marvelous City its rich culture and history. Join us for the Marvelous Tour of Rio where we will stop at landmarks, interesting neighborhoods, and more as we explore Upland’s first international city. 

Our Marvelous Tour is supported by our latest partner, BeFly, a company focused on rethinking travel and tourism in Brazil.

The tour starts on Wednesday, August 17 at 12 PM PT and reaching the last stop will earn you 0.01 Spark. We hope to see you there!

A Refreshed Tour Experience

Similar to the Historic Upland Tour from Genesis Week, the Marvelous Tour will utilize a new, refreshed tour design. While the general mechanics of a tour remain the same, there are some notable improvements such as a voiceover toggle, one-tap access to Street View, a new tour layout, and auto-send to next location. In addition, we have made small changes based on feedback from the Historic Upland Tour which should provide a smoother experience for all.

How to Participate

  1. Head into the Upland app and click on the menu at the bottom of the screen.
