Christ the Redeemer by the Corcovado Train

Private tour to Christ the Redeemer

Christ the Redeemer by the Corcovado Train

About this tour

Discover one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World and enjoy one of Rio de Janeiro's most traditional experiences: the ride up to Christ the Redeemer aboard the historic Corcovado Train. Travel through the Tijuca Forest on the famous red train to the top of Corcovado mountain. At the summit, stand before Christ the Redeemer and take in some of the most striking views of the city. The experience begins in Cosme Velho, where the traditional Corcovado Train station is located. From there you board the train that climbs the mountain through the Atlantic Forest. Along the way, enjoy the closeness of the rainforest and discover one of the most traditional ways to reach Christ the Redeemer. At the top, you continue to the monument itself, standing roughly 710 metres above sea level. There is time to admire the statue, learn its history, take photographs and enjoy the landscape. On clear days you can see different parts of the city and several of its best-known landmarks. More than a visit to a monument, this is an experience that brings together history, nature, culture and some of the most emblematic scenery in Rio de Janeiro. After the visit, the return is made once again by the Corcovado Train down to Cosme Velho.
