Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro

Hello guys how are you all , If you have a credit card, there is a special terminal, where you can choose a language of your choice to navigate. The process is smooth and fast. In addition, there is a place to get some water, ice cream and souvenirs and then you must wait for your train. If there are seats left on a previous train, they would let you in too, ahead of the session you've paid for. On the way up, sit on the right for better views. Prepare some cash, as there will be a stop, where you can buy some water. And the train driver will get one for free then too. This is Brazil. Once you get to the top, a) there are several souvenir shops, b) two cafes, where you can just have a drink and admire the view, or have some food too, and c) mind your steps. There are quite a few of them on the way up. There's a lift too, in fact, 3 of them, but the waiting line is huge. Once you get to the top, you will be surrounded by a crowd, so it's better to have a local friend, who would navigate you for better views and perspectives. There are some guards hiding in the shadow of Christ, so the place up there is very safe. There are two stops for the train, in case you arrive by taxi or hike up there. Do check the guidelines for safety,i hope this review and photos will helpful for many peoples if it click like thank you

I travel to many countries and amazing places.But going to Christ the Redeemer was until now the most beautiful place I ever been!! The Christ is incredible just to think the work to have something like that built on top of that mountain!! The views are outstanding. If I could I would have stayed there many hours just relaxing. It was something arranged with the cruise line,that we paid for (Coral Princess)and no regrets for not having to stand in lines.

Christ the redeemer is installed on the top of a mountain that gives you the opportunity to have a 360° view of Rio de Janeiro.To get to that top it is better to take a mini bus where you can meet people having the same intentions of reaching the same goal: visiting a site that represents Christ the redeemer.No matter how striking and how important to visit this great statue may be, it did not penetrate into or touched my profound or shook my feelings as the effel tower in Paris had done when I visited it for the first time.There is one theoretical explanation for that : The built statue,for what it is itself, and not the historical religious aspect of Christ the redeemer...seems not to have legitimately acquired its historical background, yet.No one can deny that this statue is of such a great importance that it is almost impossible to be in Rio de Janeiro without visiting it.Time will certainly be a better evaluator! Anyway, I personally would recommend visiting Christ the redeemer to enjoy a 360°view of Rio de Janeiro, and to see for yourself how beautiful the landscape is while going up through the winding road that takes you to the statue.

Iconic place to visit in Río de Janeiro. I strongly recommend to go there early in the morning and having checked the weather conditions. Early in the morning you will enjoy the views and decide the best places to take your pictures. Two personal recommendations: use the train to get there and please remember it’s a Christ image so try to be respectful and visit the small church behind the statue.

A must watch place at Rio This is one of places of my bucket list. Views are awesome and breathtaking. If possible go early to avoid flood of tourists. The best time to visit is at dawn. Remember to buy awesome souvenirs at the base camp store at ticket counter.
