Any postcard you see of Rio de Janeiro, you will see the Christ the Redeemer statue. Not only is the statue incredible, but the view is amazing and you can see all parts of Rio de Janeiro. If you were to only do one tour in Rio, the Corcovado Rio de Janeiro Tour is a can’t miss!
After picking you up from your residence in Rio, we’ll pass the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas (except on Sundays) on our way to reach the Cosme Velho Train cog station, which sits at the bottom of Corcovado Mountain. Here, we will take the ride up to the top, through the dense Tijuca rain forest to the 38m tall (125ft) Christ Redeemer Statue.
With a panoramic view from the top, the guide will show you the spectacular sights of Rio and the surrounding countryside for approximately 40-60 minutes.
After riding the train back down, passengers are returned to the hotel.
Please note the departure times can be customized to your preferences for this tour but there will be special departure times during Carnival as there are street closures during this time.

Description:
Corcovado, meaning “hunchback” in Portuguese, is a mountain in central Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 710-meter (2,329 ft) granite peak is located in the Tijuca Forest, a national park. The most popular attraction of Corcovado mountain is the Christ the Redeemer Statue and viewing platform at its peak, drawing over 300,000 visitors per year. From the peak’s platform the panoramic view includes downtown Rio, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas (lake), Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Estádio do Maracanã (Maracanã Stadium), and several of Rio’s favelas. Cloud cover is common in Rio and the view from the platform is often obscured. Sunny days are recommended for optimal viewing.
