Be one of the firsts to get to the top of our 7th Modern Wonder of the World, Christ, the Redeemer statue. The tour starts early in the morning making possible for you to take a good look at the whole city from the top of the Corcovado hill and take the most wonderful pictures, without the usual crowd. Once getting there so early, you will understand the value of having been one of the first to get there.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Ipanema beach is bordered by Arpoador Beach on one end and Leblon Beach on the other end. This beach is considered one of the main centers of activity for the city of Rio. One of the most expensive places to live, the neighborhood is full of wealthy residents.
2.
Is one of the most famous and most beautiful beaches in the world. The atmosphere is very vibrant and the people are colorful and fun loving.After the pick-up we will start the tour from Copacabana Beach.
3.
The Botafogo beach are one of the most beautiful postcards of Rio de Janeiro, being inside the Guanabara Bay and having the Sugar Loaf ahead to set the scene. However the beach is more frequented by locals, for sports, sun bathing and recreation, instead of swimming. Occasionally some music concerts are organized in the place.
4.
The palace was built around 1853 for a merchant named Machado Coelho in neoclassical style. It was acquired by the imperial government in 1865 in favor of the recently married Princess Isabella and the Count of Eu; On this occasion, the architect José Maria Jacinto Rebelo underwent some transformations to the building. He also planted a hundred palm trees to give more solemnity to the access road. In 1889, the building was confiscated by the Republican government and subjected to a new restoration in 1908 under the direction of Francisco Marcellino de Souza Aguiar and landscape architect Paul Villon, in an eclectic style. After various uses, the palace belongs since 1960 to the government of the state of Rio.
5.
The Tijuca Forest or Floresta da Tijuca is a tropical rainforest in the city of Rio de Janeiro which is 3.5% of the city of Rio de Janeiro, around 11 times Central Park in NY. The tour will reach Tijuca Forest with a stop at Paineiras to board the official vehicles of the National Park Authority to be able to reach the top of the Corcovado Hill where The Christ The Redeemer Statue is located.
6.
From the top of Corcovado Hill you will be able to admire The Christ of the Redeemer statue, which has 38m or 125 feet in height and was made of reinforced concrete clad in a mosaic of thousands of triangular soapstone tiles, and also will have a chance to see some of the most beautiful views of the city.
7.
Only in case of poor visibility on the summit of the Corcovado, we will make an alternative stop at Mirante Dona Marta which offers one of the most incredible views of the city, guaranteeing the title of one of the most visited tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro.

We had an awesome experience with our tour guide Monica. She was very informative and knowledgeable. Everything ran to a tight schedule and was extremely professionally handled. No standing in long queues. Would highly recommend.

We went early, at one of the earliest times. It was excellent! no fuss, no long waiting time. It was very windy up there and it was cold! There isn't much to do other than take photos with the monument.

Although it is the number 1 ride in Rio, it is too noisy, which takes away some of the shine. The climb through the alleys of Cosme Velho and the Tijuca Forest is cool, the panoramic view (very dependent on weather conditions) is stunning, but the number of people fighting for places to take photos is irritating and takes away from the essence of the tour.

A must do. They picked us up from the hotel. Very nice guide (English) who taught us lots of things. We arrive in the 1st so not too many people. We didn't queue. If you can afford to spend a little more than an Uber + guide I recommend

Misleading, you are just paying for the travel to the statue where you only get around 40 minutes. The tour guide also spoke minimally about the view because many others were going to Sugar Loaf mountain after and would see similar views, so again using this tour option I didn’t get an actual tour. It is very overpriced considering this. I opted out of the journey back in order to spend more time at the statue and enjoy the cafe. I asked the operator to consider these factors and offer a partial refund but they said no. Yes the terms are listed in the T&Cs of the tour but for the price you would think entrance is included, something that is normal in most tours. My original booking was also cancelled as they didn’t have availability. They didn’t let me know until the evening before either so I had to re-arrange my plans last minute. I wish I just cancelled now!!!!

The driver Valdemar and guide Sabina were great, very friendly, and helpful. However, we purchased this tour by the title: " Corcovado and Christ Statue," but they never mentioned this is JUST the ride to the place. It does not include any entrance. So DON'T buy this if you want to go to the Christ. This is a poor description of what you will get. The title should have said: TRANSPORTATION ONLY to the Sugarloaf & Christ! You either buy a full package with transportation and entrance included or get this transportation ticket and be willing to pay additional there.

Great experience, beautiful view. Take an Uber up and buy the tickets in the shop. There the tickets cost less than 60 reals in the off-season and a little over 80 reals in the high season.

However, if you buy them outside, the tickets cost 180 reals

Our tour guide, Aline, was fantastic. She explained the history of Rio as we headed to Christ the Redeemer. Aline was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family. A shout out to Lino, our driver—he was very nice and a great driver. THANK YOU 🙏
