Discover the UNESCO-listed Tijuca National Rainforest and famous Christ the Redeemer Statue!
Christ Redeemer Monument, at the top of Corcovado Mountain (710m / 2330ft), is certainly Brazil’s most famous landmark, located
in the first sector of the Tijuca Forest National Park.
The moderate hike starts at Lage Park at the base of Corcovado Mountain, a park covered with Atlantic Rainforest, with a beautiful, imponent old mansion, and many century-old palm trees.
The trail is around 2hs, and crosses the preserved Atlantic forest of the Tijuca National Park to one of the most beautiful views of the city from the top of the mountain!
From up there the view is very rewarding and it is considered one of Rio’s most privileged belvederes.
* Hiking duration: (approx.) 3:30 hours (2hs way up / 1:30hs way down)
* Important: during the trail there is a short rocky section, very easy, quick and safe (no previous climbing experience required).
* The ticket to access the statue only can be purchased upon arrival at the top, in the park's ticket office. Not sold in advance.
