Event Name

Rio Hiking Corcovado

Event Description

A different way up to the Christ Redeemer Statue
Views from Rio
Do exercises while you make your way up one of Rio’s most famous sights.

Why Should You Go?

You cannot visit Rio and fail to notice the statue of Christ perched majestically atop the Corcovado (‘hunchback’ in Portuguese). Along with the Sugarloaf mountain (Pão de Açucar), it is a mandatory tourist attraction. Much is made of the train that takes you to the top but the views on the way up are pretty restricted and, after all, it’s just a train.

Description:

Hiking tour on the trail that leads to the Corcovado mountain, where the statue of Christ the Redeemer is located, crossing rills and constructions of the coffee cycle and old empire. The place reserves an exuberant part of the Atlantic Rainforest, where you can see various species of animals that inhabit the area. This trail requires some physical effort because we must overcome a few steep gaps inside a dense forest with some natural obstacles along the way. Almost on the top, it crosses the Corcovado Railroad, where there is a slab that serves as a belvedere for ecotourists.

Once on top of Corcovado mountain, we visit Christ the Redeemer statue and then come back through the trail. For the ones wondering an extension after the tour, it´s possible to take the transfer to Paineiras and after a pleasant walk, check out the view at Mirante Dona Marta.
