The area
Address
Neighborhood: Santa Teresa
Santa Teresa is a bohemian enclave hosting many local artists’ studios. The narrow, winding streets of this neighbourhood were revitalised years ago, and visitors can now stroll through this area to view magnificent mansions dating back to the late 19th and early 20th century. A highlight not miss: Museu Chacará do Céu, a former mansion turned museum which houses works by prominent Brazilian modern artists.

I spent a long time admiring the statue and contemplating the view of the city, absorbing all the positive energy of the place. Visiting Christ the Redeemer was, without a doubt, one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I recommend it to everyone who has the opportunity to visit this magical place.Olá, Lucas.

- Soraia S1 contributionFamily tripIt was amazing! The journey was very comfortable with the vans. My parents are elderly and they from Paineiras Corcovado were super attentive, adding an extra step so they wouldn't climb down the biggest step of the van. Upon arriving at the Visitor Center, we strolled through the shop and right on the way to validate our tickets there is a free exhibition of the Tijuca Forest. The view at Cristo is surreal and up there there is a really good restaurant with a variety of snacks and burgers.Oi, Soraia Tudo bem? Sua avaliação nos enche de orgulho! Obrigado por expressar sua experiência ao nos visitar. Esperamos que seus pais tenham aproveitado bastante o passeio.

Very well organized!
I bought the tickets a month before, the website is very well explained, there was no doubt whatsoever.
On the day the tour left on time and with great vans, with air conditioning, seat belts and everyone on the team was very attentive.
Going to Christ the Redeemer is a mandatory stop when visiting Rio, and choosing the official vans is much better, both in terms of safety and value for money.
Only compliments!

Just in relation to values and how to get there. Is too expensive. For residents of Rio, there should be a discount all year round, as well as for teachers. We were held hostage on how to get there because access is difficult, there should be vans with normal prices just to go up and down the paineiras.
At the D. Marta viewpoint, there are transport scalpers.
Otherwise, congratulations! Everything was very well organized, the staff were very friendly, efficient, helpful, very well trained and in uniform.
I also remembered that the escalator was undergoing maintenance and the elevator windows were broken.

The van service we used to get to the top of the mountain was excellenté ! Beware of fraudulent services that say they will take you to the top. Use a Uber or a taxi to get to the point to purchase tickets and then the tickets will cover the van service to the top.

When you go they will call you to take a picture with your family, wife, etc. For me they came to say it was a welcome gift. They'll surround you at the exit and show you the photos and charge 40 reais for two photos. Aggressive and malicious practice. The quality of the photos is not that stuff. Saturation up there and an angle that simply doesn't exist. They make a mount as if you were on a sidewalk on a mountain above Christ the Redeemer. Be clear and speak before you call to take the photos that is sale!!! A lot of dick and bullshit. Oh, and this is an official and accredited kkkk service

I didn't know where the correct place of boarding was, Uber left us where the Concorvado Train is. We had to pay another Uber to get upstairs. There was a lot of people, they did not give direct guidance on how to enter. We climbed two floors in the visitor center, we stayed in a huge queue, with a lot of heat, it took a long time to get up in the Van. Then we saw that it was possible to enter through the store access and I didn’t have to stay in the queue where we were. The Van driver makes the curves very fast to get in the access to Christ the Redeemer, I vomited when I got there. I was treated very well in the hospital and recovered. We had bad luck in choosing the day, there were many clouds, it wasn't cool to take pictures.

Monkeys attacked my 3-year-old daughter to get her food! I will never return to Christ again because of this! Not counting the countless queues. We went to the baptism which didn't last for 20 minutes, and the priest still shouted: near!

Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience. My husband is in a wheelchair and there is no parking nearby, in fact there is but only for some people, like a taxi driver who stopped in the space and no one said anything. While we had to leave the wheelchair user there alone, go down to park in an expensive parking lot and walk up alone. Imagine if he was alone? How would he go up? No one in need wants to be dependent. We fight every day to come and go like in first world countries, even alone. In a tourist place that receives people from all over the world, wheelchair users don't have a special space? Besides, from down there they didn't want us to go up with our own car, they practically forced us to take a van. I believe it was these same people who meant we couldn't leave the car in the parking lot near Paineiras. Because like I said taxi drivers and other cars were parked up there.

The only star I give is for the van being new! Pq the rest of the system to ascend to the Christ is horrible, you are forced to pass through the visitor center and then practically forced to take an official photo on a screen with the Christ late, and in this one goes 1h30 in a row. The location of the photos is covered, but the rest of the queue is not, and moreover they make you change van to pass this visitor center. Ai at the end of the queue has a trailer selling drinks (most buy water due to the heat). If everything were simpler like: who wants to visit the center and take the official photo to the right and who wants to go directly to the christ to the left.

I am from Manaus and bought the Aquario + Paineiras Corcovado ticket, in the validation of the aquarium ticket went all right. But the other day to validate from Corcovado, I had to leave the queue to go to the ticket shop for them to try to validate, I don't know what you hear and they didn't explain to me, but I had to wait about 30 minutes in queue, and I bought the ticket online just to not face the queue. After all, at the ticket shop the girl could validate. Luckily the sight offset the stress.

Na hora da volta (descida do centro de visitantes) dei uma lida que você tem que contar com a "sorte" para pegar um uber ou táxi subindo com outro passageiro, pq me disseram que os ubers não sobem até lá sem passageiro, é isso mesmo? É complicado achar táxi ou uber na volta?
Written November 5, 2019
Oi, é complicado sim. Lá é totalmente sem sinal, você não consegue pedir carro de uber ou taxi e é muito difícil eles subirem mesmo pq acaba não valendo a pena pro lucro deles.
Mas, existem vans sem ser do parque que fazem esse trajeto e se não me engano custa 10 reais cada pessoa.

Sabem se tem estacionamento no Centro de Visitantes? Quero deixar o carro e subir de van.
Written August 29, 2019
Pessoal, muito obrigada pelas respostas. Pra deixar o registro para quem vier a ter dúvidas, tem 3 maneiras de subir até o Cristo:
- pegar a van em um dos locais indicados no site - ela vai te levar até as Paineiras, onde tem o Centro de Visitantes e lá você pega outra van até o Corcovado. Foi o que fizemos. Organizado, mas demorado - muita gente e uma fila enorme. A volta é do mesmo jeito - 2 vans.
- pegar o bondinho no Cosme Velho. Ele te leva direto ao Corcovado. Tem fila e é um trajeto mais lento, mas vai direto. E não tem lugar pra estacionar perto da subida. Tem que ir até lá de transporte coletivo.
- ir de carro até as Paineiras, estacionar ao longo da rua e subir a pé até o Centro de Visitantes - esta opção é horrível, pois é subida, o local pra estacionar é ruim (ao longo da via) - e depois pegar a van até o Corcovado.
Espero ajudar quem tenha a mesma dúvida que eu.
