I took a trip to the Corcovado to see Cristo Redentor on a recent business trip to Rio. I took a taxi from my hotel on the Copacabana Beach (about $10.00 one-way in the yellow taxis), and bought a ticket for the tram at the base of the Corcovado for about $22. It was somewhat of a miserable, rainy Saturday,... More

The ride up to Christ as well as down is very well organized. Great views and couldn't get enough. It is hard taking pictures of you with Christ as it is packed, however it was amazing, I recommend going early in the morning!

Spend a little time taking in the great views of Rio and the Atlantic. Don't skip the train, and seat on the right side of the train when climbing up. Price seemed a little high though.

When you are in Rio, from everywhere you can see the Christ, it is amazing and it looks so powerfull! I love the Christ! You have to visit, but when you are there, the view is beautifull (with no clouds), but the statue is not that interesting.

Somehow, I thought this would attract religiious visitors, but all I saw were regular tourists trying to be in a photo with the statue. There was nothing spiritual or religious at all, just a large statue that everyone wanted those at home to know had been visited. At least it was accesible to the handicapped, which was not the situation... More

The queues for the train are long, and there are large crowds of people at the top, but you just have to do it. You can now book your visit online ahead of your trip. I strongly recommend you do as it avoids queuing for tickets.

I arrived literally at 7.30 to be first in line with our tour guide. The first train departs at 8.30 and it was well worth being first on the train, and getting a picture without the hords of people surrounding me. I was out by 9.30 and the trains only go every 20-30 minutes, which means you can wait easily... More
