Corcovado Train & Christ the Redeemer Tickets

This ticket allows you to embark on the historic Corcovado Train, taking you right to the base of Christ the Redeemer. As you travel through the vibrant Tijuca Forest on this century-old railway, you'll be treated to some of Rio de Janeiro's most breathtaking views.

Journey to Christ the Redeemer

Experiencing Christ the Redeemer via the Corcovado Train is truly one of the highlights of Rio de Janeiro. Your adventure begins at Cosme Velho Station, where you’ll board Brazil's first electrified railway, which was inaugurated in 1884 under the reign of Emperor Pedro II.

This historic railway played a vital role in transporting materials for the construction of the renowned Christ the Redeemer statue, recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the Modern World. When you purchase this ticket, you engage in a unique blend of history, remarkable engineering, and stunning vistas, all while utilizing this traditional mode of transport to reach the famous monument.

As the trip begins, you will ride in a historic electric locomotive that will guide you through a scenic 20-minute journey across the lush expanse of Tijuca National Park’s Atlantic Forest, a UNESCO-protected ecosystem nestled within the city.

Upon arrival at the base of Christ the Redeemer, you will be greeted by a spectacular 360-degree view of Rio de Janeiro. From this vantage point, you will have the opportunity to see Sugarloaf Mountain, the picturesque beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, as well as the iconic Maracanã Stadium. It's an experience you'll cherish.
