A Yup Star Rio He prepared a special action to celebrate International Women's Day. Women living in Rio may win a courtesy ticket for the attraction, as long as they are accompanied by a paying visitor.
The initiative aims to value the female public and provide a special experience “in heights”, gathering leisure, emotion and a privileged view of the city. The proposal is to make each woman feel celebrated while enjoying one of the most beautiful views of Rio.
Located in Port Wonder, next to AquaRio, Yup Star is one of the largest giant wheels in Latin America. At 88 meters high, the attraction has 54 air-conditioned cabins, each with a capacity for up to eight people, allowing up to 432 visitors to enjoy the ride simultaneously.
The route lasts about 20 minutes and offers a panoramic view of the Wonderful City, making the Ferris wheel one of the most sought after points by cariocas and tourists. The structure is also accessible for disabled people and includes instagramable spaces, as well as the Star Shop souvenir shop and Star Café cafeteria, which offers food and drink options.
To participate in the special campaign in honor of Women's Day, it is necessary to acquire the paying ticket at least one day in advance by official website of attraction.
Other information and tickets are available at: www.yupstar.com.br.
