A journey to the Christ the Redeemer statue is more than just a sightseeing trip; it's an ascent into the heart of Rio de Janeiro's soul. Perched atop the 710-meter-high Corcovado Mountain and nestled within the lush Tijuca National Forest, this colossal Art Deco statue stands as a global symbol of peace and a beacon for the city. As you make your way to the summit, either by the scenic cog train or a comfortable van, the urban landscape gives way to tropical greenery. Once at the top, you are rewarded with an unparalleled 360-degree panorama that encompasses Sugarloaf Mountain, the sprawling city, the golden sands of Copacabana and Ipanema, and the shimmering waters of Guanabara Bay. Standing beneath the 30-meter-tall statue is a moment of profound awe, offering a unique perspective on one of the world's most beautiful cities.

The best time to visit Rio for clear skies at Christ the Redeemer is during the dry season, from May to September. These months offer milder temperatures and less rainfall. However, the shoulder months of April, October, and November are also excellent, with a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer tourists than the peak summer season (December to March).
Wear lightweight, comfortable clothing suitable for warm weather|Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are essential as you will be on your feet|Bring a light jacket, sweater, or scarf, as it can be significantly cooler and windier at the 710m summit than in the city|Sun protection, including a hat and sunglasses, is highly recommended.
The idea for a large monument on Corcovado mountain was first suggested in the 1850s, but the project didn't come to fruition until the 1920s. The Art Deco statue was designed by French sculptor Paul Landowski and built by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, in collaboration with French engineer Albert Caquot. Constructed between 1922 and 1931 from reinforced concrete and soapstone, it stands as a remarkable feat of early 20th-century engineering.
Cancellation policies vary depending on the specific tour operator and ticket type you choose.

Real experiences from real travelers
The views are just as incredible as everyone says. We booked a skip-the-line ticket with the train online through this platform, and it was seamless. We walked right past a huge queue and got on the next train. The ride through the forest was beautiful, and the feeling of standing under the statue is indescribable. A must-do in Rio!
We opted for an early morning tour, and it was the best decision. Watching the sun rise over Sugarloaf from the top of Corcovado was a spiritual experience. The crowds were minimal, allowing for perfect photo opportunities. The booking process was simple, and our mobile tickets worked perfectly. Highly recommended!
The statue and the 360-degree views are truly magnificent. It is a masterpiece of art and engineering. However, be prepared for large crowds, even on a weekday. It was difficult to get a clean photo without other people. My advice: book the very first time slot of the day. The convenience of booking a package with hotel pickup was a great advantage.
As a solo female traveler, safety and convenience were my top priorities. I booked a small group tour that included pickup, and it was perfect. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and having all the logistics handled made the experience completely stress-free. Seeing Christ the Redeemer up close was a highlight of my trip to Brazil.
A word of advice - check the weather! We went on a slightly overcast day, and the clouds would roll in and completely obscure the view for minutes at a time. When it was clear, it was stunning. The booking itself was easy, and the tickets were a good value. The cog train ride is part of the classic experience and shouldn't be missed.
Simply epic. The scale of the statue is hard to comprehend until you're there. We booked our tickets about a month in advance to get the time we wanted. The process was straightforward, and the e-tickets on our phones were scanned without any issues. Don't hesitate, just book it and go!
Visiting Cristo Redentor was a dream come true. The energy at the top is incredible, and the panoramic view of the city, forest, and ocean is something I will never forget. We booked a tour that also included Sugarloaf, which I recommend to see the city from both iconic viewpoints. This platform made it easy to find and book the perfect combination tour.
The statue is incredible. However, getting a taxi back down from the Corcovado train station was a bit chaotic. I would recommend booking a tour that includes round-trip transportation for a smoother experience. The ticket booking itself was very efficient and I got my confirmation immediately.
Everything you need to know for your journey
You will receive an email confirmation with your e-tickets immediately after booking. You can either print them or show the QR code on your mobile device at the entrance. No need to wait in line at the ticket office.
The most traditional and scenic way is the Corcovado Cog Train, which departs from Cosme Velho station. Alternatively, you can take official vans from designated pickup points in the city. Many guided tours include round-trip transportation directly from your hotel.
This depends on the option you book. Most standard entrance tickets purchased online include a round-trip journey on the Corcovado Train. Always check the 'inclusions' section of the tour or ticket option you are purchasing to be sure.
We recommend setting aside at least 3 to 4 hours for the entire experience. This includes travel time to and from the base, the train or van ride up and down the mountain, and at least an hour at the summit to enjoy the views and take photos.
Mornings generally offer clearer views and fewer crowds. The very first time slots of the day are ideal. Late afternoons can be magical for sunset views over the city, but it is also one of the busiest times.
The monument remains open in most weather conditions, but clouds can obscure the view. Some tours and tickets booked through our partners offer flexible policies, but this varies. We recommend checking the live weather cam for the summit before you depart. It is not possible to get a refund due to poor visibility.
Yes! Booking your tickets or tours in advance through our platform is the best way to skip the long ticket-purchasing queues on-site. You can proceed directly to the train or van boarding area with your pre-purchased e-ticket.
Yes, the monument is accessible. There are elevators and escalators from the train and van drop-off point to the viewing platform, making it accessible for wheelchairs and those with limited mobility. The train itself also has accessible spaces.
While it is sometimes possible to buy tickets at the Corcovado train station's ticket office, it is strongly discouraged. Lines can be extremely long (hours), and tickets for popular times often sell out days or even weeks in advance. Booking online is the only way to guarantee your entry.
