Christ the Redeemer Trail

About this tour

Christ the Redeemer Trail is a unique way to experience this iconic Rio’s landmark. The trail takes you through lush rainforest!

Experience one of the most unforgettable adventures in Rio de Janeiro by hiking through the lush rainforest of Tijuca National Park to reach the iconic Christ the Redeemer.
This unique tour combines nature, history, adventure, and breathtaking views in a single experience. Located within one of the world’s largest urban rainforests, Tijuca National Park is part of Rio’s UNESCO World Heritage landscape and protects a remarkable portion of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet.
The hike begins at Lage Park, a historic park nestled at the foot of Corcovado Mountain. Following shaded trails through dense rainforest, you’ll discover towering trees, tropical plants, streams, and the rich wildlife that inhabits this natural sanctuary.
The trail to the summit of Corcovado Mountain takes approximately 2 hours and is considered moderately challenging, making it suitable for active travelers seeking an authentic outdoor experience. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights about the forest, local history, and the importance of conservation in this unique environment.
At 709 meters (2,326 feet) above sea level, the reward is extraordinary. Standing beneath the majestic Christ the Redeemer statue, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, you’ll enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro, including Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Beach, Guanabara Bay, and the surrounding mountains.
More than just a hike, this experience offers a unique perspective of Rio—where vibrant city life meets one of the world’s most impressive urban forests. For those looking to explore beyond the typical tourist routes, the Christ the Redeemer Trail is the perfect combination of adventure, culture, and unforgettable scenery.
