Rio de Janeiro · CHRIST THE REDEEMER STATUE & CORCOVADO TOURS
39 tours
The statue is the one thing nobody skips, and how you get up there decides the whole morning. Below are the best Corcovado trips: cog railway versus official van, which leave early enough to beat the cloud, which fold in the Selarón steps or Sugarloaf, and what each ticket really includes once the entry fee is counted.
Corcovado Train ticket to Christ the Redeemer in Rio, with Tijuca Forest ride and museum access. Epic views, big crowds.
“Train ride was nice, well organized and quick. Lots of people visit the Christ so I recommend going as early as possible.”
Visit Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Selarón Steps, Maracanã and Sambódromo, plus an all-you-can-eat Brazilian BBQ if you choose it.
“My guide Joao is excellent with a lot of energy and passion. He gave us a lot of history and info.”
Rio highlights in 7 hours, early Christ, Tijuca rainforest at Parque Lage, Cathedral and Municipal Theater, Selaron Steps, plus optional Sugarloaf sunset drop-off.
“I had a really great time on this experience! The driver was excellent—safe, punctual, and professional. But the real highlight was the tour guide—absolutely amazing. They shared fascinating historical facts that really captured my interest, which I appreciated even more than just taking pictures. The tour was efficient, thorough, and engaging from start to finish. I’d definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn something new and have a meaningful time.”
One day in Rio with skip-the-line access to Sugar Loaf and Christ Redeemer, plus BBQ lunch and major city sights.
“Great tour, excellent lunch. Rained the whole day but was still fun I mucked up the start time but it was no big deal, they very kindly transferred us to the next day. The lunch was a highlight of my whole trip”
Skip the long lines for Christ the Redeemer with a Corcovado train admission ticket, flexible return trains, and big Rio views from 710m up.
“This is a, Godsend for seeing this super busy & popular iconic site. I guesstimate this was, probably 4-5 times faster than a, regular ticket. And it helped that we, also had an experienced guide with it as, sometimes it wasn't clear where to go to best use it in the several queues up the mountain. And that's, in part because the crammed regular line blocked our way. But our guise knew to politely but assertiveky move forward past them. This ticket is like the Fast Pass ticket at the busiest amusement park you've ever been to. Defibetly worth it if your don't have 4 or more hours to stand…”
Guided van day tour in Rio with Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, major landmarks, and lunch included, plus hotel pickup and drop-off.

“It was an excellent tour…Priscilla was the best guide ever, 100% recommended.”

“The tour and the guide were great. Beautiful sun dawn overlooking Rio and one of the first 100 on the statue platform. Only thing: it is instagram foto alert at both sites and your group and your guide will be focused on that. So if you are out for this - perfect pitch! If you are not (like we were) it is still a good trip with some boring moments but anyways, go for this guide”
