How to get to RIO’s spectacular Christ The Redeemer (by train)

RIO

Perhaps the most famous landmark in Rio is Christ the Redeemer. One of the 7 wonders of the modern world, the iconic statue stands tall atop Corcovado Mountain, overlooking the city and providing breathtaking views. It’s a symbol of Brazil’s strong Catholic heritage and a reminder of the country’s spiritual roots. Visit Christ the Redeemer at sunrise or sunset, when the light hits the statue just right. The view is truly awe-inspiring. You can get to Christ the Redeemer with or without a travel company on foot, by van, or by train. My preference is to take the train leaving from the historic Corcovado Station. 

Historic Train Trip to Christ the Redeemer:

1. Travel to the historic Corcovado Station at Rua Cosme Velho, 513 Cosme Velho – Rio de Janeiro – RJ. 
2. Train tickets can be purchased at the station or online. Check out this link for helpful details or to buy tickets. Ticket prices are ~$117 Real and include park admission. 
3. The train will take you through Tijuca National Park up to the base of the statue. Going up, the right side of the train car offers some stunning views. 
4. You can pack a lunch or eat at the cafe at the base of the statue, where you’ll be treated to magnificent views of the cityscape. 
5. Head back to the train for your return trip.
