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 on a panoramic view. 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 hotel, 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 38 meters tall (125 ft) 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 their hotels.
Keep in mind that this is a regular tour with other tourists so the bus will be picking up and dropping off people in different hotels. If you would like to avoid picking up and dropping off other passengers, please ask for the last meeting point location when calling to reconfirm or when selecting your pick up point. You can also choose our Private Tour Options.
Please note the departure times for this tour vary by date with special departure times during Carnival as there are street closures during this time.
Once you book your tour, you will receive an email with your tour confirmation. We will also send you your travel voucher within 24 hours after purchasing your tour.
Please keep in mind that regular tours have a minimum and maximum number of people. If we can not confirm the tour for your date and alternative dates do not work, we will provide you with a full refund.
Measures taken to make sure all guests are safe:
The exact time you will be picked up will be on your travel voucher and it all depends on the location of your hotel. After you book, a specialist will send you your voucher with the exact pick-up 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.
