Corcovado Christ the Redeemer
An elegant 38-meter (125 ft) Art Deco statue constructed in 1931, Corcovado Christ the Redeemer was once only accessible by climbing hundreds of steep steps to the top of the Corcovado Mountain. Today, visitors can access this instantly recognizable city symbol by using the convenient escalators and elevators. The viewing platform from the top offers panoramic views of Copacabana, Ipanema, Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Botanical Garden, and the Maracana Stadium. Check the weather before starting your climb to the top, as thick clouds often envelop the peak and obscure the view. You can also reach the top on the funicular train, but remember that the lines can get rather long here. Try to time your visit for lunchtime, when there are fewer crowds and considerably shorter lines. Put Corcovado Christ the Redeemer and other Rio de Janeiro attractions into our Rio de Janeiro travel itinerary planner, and watch your holiday take shape.

August 15, 2017Realmente uma maravilha, experiência inesquecível, apesar da multidão, é possível aproveitar e apreciar. Fomos logo cedo, estava frio, mas aos pés do Cristo, logo o sol nos aqueceu. more »
Really a wonderful, unforgettable experience, despite the crowd, it is possible to enjoy and appreciate. We went early, it was cold, but at the feet of Christ, soon the sun warmed us.View original -

June 4, 2017Excellent statue. Very Impressive. Beautiful. A must see. The platforms and staircases were also excellent. The views were amazing. I don't recommend the train up.

June 13, 2017You have to go and see it, but it really helps if the weather is good. You can take the tram all the way to the top or drive up to a point from where you can walk the rest of the way for free, or pay to be taken up and brought back to the base by minibus. We chose the bus as it was quicker. Spectacular views and of course the enormity of the Corcovado itself is amazing.

June 11, 2017Beautiful views once your up there, if you want to climb up all the way you have to go through the park on the south side, you can go up with a car as well and then you have to pay for the last 500 meters or so. A little bit annoying. Also there is a train going from the other side. If you can and are willing to, walking is a huge recommendation, you'll see a bunch of wild animals like monkeys and beautiful birds. But the path is very steep and slippery.

June 24, 2017It is worth the wait to see the statue. It was a little cloudy, so it all depends if you actually get a chance to see it, but when you do. Amazing.
