No sight is more famous in Rio than the statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain.
You'll set out on a drive through the city to the Tijuca Forest at Corcovado. At the base of the mountain, board an electric cogwheel train for the 20-minute ride through the forest to the top of the 'hunchback' mountain. The spectacular vistas of Rio from the train — encompassing the city's beaches, buildings and bridges — are quite spellbinding (weather permitting). At the top, take the elevator or escalator to the summit — an elevation of 2,400 feet. Climb approximately 25 steps, and you'll see the crowning glory of Corcovado — the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer, made of soapstone and standing 125 feet tall. The Redeemer's outstretched arms welcome you to an astonishing 360-degree view.
August 2026 through May 2027, Christ the Redeemer will be undergoing modernization work, during which all escalators will be out of service and guests will be required to climb approximately 220 steps to reach the base of the monument; this tour is therefore not recommended for guests with limited mobility.
Notes:
This tour is available only to guests whose cruise does not begin or end in Rio de Janeiro. Expect long lines at the attractions and the Corcovado train station. Tour may operate differently during Carnival; expect traffic congestion and delays. Weather and atmospheric conditions vary; no guarantee is offered with regard to visibility or views on any particular day. Tour requires walking and standing for extended periods. Escalators and elevators are available to reach the Statue of Christ, or you can climb the 220 steps instead. Whichever option you choose, tour requires walking and standing for extended periods. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, and many steps. Tour does not operate on holidays.
