I bought the two tickets for the Corcovado train the night before the tour. I was a little worried at first, as the vouchers were issued a few minutes after payment. On the day of the tour, we were booked on the midday train and when we arrived, it was very crowded. When we presented the vouchers, everything went very quickly and they directed us to the boarding gates. It was very quick! I recommend the purchase 100%.

We received a discount for purchasing our second tickets through this platform. The experience at sugar loaf was lovely. Fast lines to get onto cable cart.

Purchasing the tickets through Headout was convenient and easy. Professional company with quality service. I rated the experience as good, because of the time required to board cable cars on the return to ground level. The view from the highest peak was incredible, especially at sunset and night fall. However, the most entertaining section is the midway point, with a greater variety of eateries or snack choices and a live DJ set.

Standing 2,300 feet above Rio de Janeiro with arms stretched wide over the city, Christ the Redeemer is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. And honestly? The views from up there will ruin every other city panorama for you. Whether you're staying in Copacabana, Ipanema, or anywhere in Rio's South Zone, this day trip is ridiculously easy to pull off. Trust us, you haven't really seen Rio until you've seen it from the feet of Cristo Redentor himself.

Overview:

Distance from Rio: Approximately 8-12 km from most South Zone neighborhoods like Copacabana and Largo do Machado.
Travel time: 30-60 minutes, depending on your starting point and chosen transport method.
On‑site visit duration: 1.5-2 hours at the top to soak in the views, snap photos, and explore the small chapel.
Cost range: R$186 (for Christ tickets and transfers) to R$500 (for Christ tickets, Rio city tour, and transfers).
Best time to visit: April to October (Brazil's dry season) for clearer skies; early morning (8-9am) or late afternoon (4-5pm) for fewer crowds and better lighting.
Meeting/drop-off point: Most tours offer hotel pickup from South Zone accommodations. If not going on a Rio day trip, head to the Corcovado Train Station in Cosme Velho or the van departure points in Copacabana/Largo do Machado.
Key attractions: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Selarón Steps, Maracanã, and more.
Top tours: Full-Day Tour of Rio: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Selarón Steps and More

Things to know before booking your Christ the Redeemer tickets

Hate waiting? Then don’t. During peak hours, wait times at Cristo Redentor can stretch up to 3 hours, especially if you show up without pre-booked tickets. Booking ahead means you skip the chaos, hop on your ride, and head straight to those heavenly views.
Train or van? The Corcovado Train offers a 20-minute panoramic ride through the lush Tijuca Forest. If you prefer road over rail, official vans are your go-to. They leave from Copacabana or Largo do Machado and reach the top in 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic. Either choice gives you official, direct access to the top.
Short-day trip or full-day trip? You choose. Half-day tours add in more sights. Full-day Rio tours go all-in, with extras like lunch, Sugarloaf, and all of Rio’s greatest hits.
Same drop-off, too? Yes. The Cristo Redentor tickets offer the same pickup and drop-off location, whether you choose a train or van. So, pick your boarding point carefully, because changes halfway are not an option.
Can I show up in an Uber? Please don’t. Cars, taxis, and ride-shares can only go as far as Estrada das Paineiras—not the actual entrance. More importantly, the areas surrounding the base aren’t the safest for tourists, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the region. For a worry-free ride to the top, stick with the official train or authorized vans. They’re the safest and most reliable way to visit.
Hungry now or later? Some tours come with a tasty Brazilian BBQ or a simple executive lunch. Others skip it, so you can keep the sightseeing going. Whether you fuel mid-day or catch a bite after, there’s a tour package for every appetite.
Want more for your day? Combo tours bundle Christ the Redeemer with other Rio must-dos, like Sugarloaf Mountain cable car rides. It’s Rio in HD with just one booking.
Want to feel sky-high? The 12-minute heli ride over Rio is a bucket-list experience, giving you jaw-dropping aerial views of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Copacabana, and Ipanema—wind in your hair, Rio at your feet, Instagram on fire.

How to visit Christ the Redeemer

Getting to Christ the Redeemer isn’t just about the view at the top—it’s about how you get there. And when it comes to reaching this world-famous statue, there are really only two ways to do it right: the Christ the Redeemer train or the official van service. Here's why these are not just the best, but the only smart and safe options:

The roads leading to the summit are restricted. Only official vehicles are allowed beyond certain points, so your rental car or Uber won’t get you far.
Rio isn't the safest place to gamble on unofficial rides. Informal drivers may promise a cheaper or “faster” route. Don’t fall for it. Many are unauthorized, uninsured, and unsafe, with some operating illegally inside the national park.
The route runs through Tijuca National Park, a conservation zone with strict access rules. The train and vans are the only transport options that meet park regulations and environmental controls.
Going official means your ride includes entry to the monument, often with reserved time slots, so you avoid long lines and surprise closures.
Both the train and van services are run by licensed operators, with proper maintenance, trained staff, and oversight. You know exactly what you're getting—and when.

Everything you need to know about getting to Christ the Redeemer Statue ➡

The official van service is your no-fuss solution with two convenient boarding points. Copacabana is perfect for those in Rio’s South Zone, like Copacabana, Ipanema, or Leblon. The van departs from Praça do Lido on Avenida Atlântica, just a 10-minute walk from Cardeal Arcoverde metro station. Largo do Machado is your go-to if you’re based in Glória, Flamengo, Lapa, or other central neighborhoods—just two minutes from Largo do Machado metro station.

Boarding point: Copacabana and Largo do Machado

With your Christ the Redeemer train tickets, you’ll board at Cosme Velho Station for a scenic 20-minute ride through Tijuca National Park to the summit of Christ the Redeemer. This route is perfect if you want a relaxed, nature-filled journey, with rainforest views before the statue even comes into sight.

Traveling from Copacabana to Christ the Redeemer takes around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic. You’ll leave behind the golden sands and ocean breeze for a journey through the heart of Rio, passing lively neighborhoods and winding uphill roads until the mountain scenery takes over. It’s a smooth shift from beachside bustle to serene summit views.

Christ the Redeemer visitor tips

The Corcovado Train to Christ the Redeemer has limited capacity and sells out quickly, especially during weekends and holidays. Book your tickets online at least a few days ahead to secure your preferred time slot.
Planning to drive yourself up? Not the best idea. There’s no parking at the Visitor Center, and you’ll likely end up leaving your car on the side of the road and walking uphill for 10 minutes. Plus, if you’re not familiar with Rio, your GPS could lead you straight into an unsafe neighborhood. Honestly, just don’t.
If you want to avoid fixed train schedules, the van transfer gives you more flexibility with departure times. Vans also handle bad weather better since trains sometimes pause operations during heavy rain or strong winds.
Remember, your ticket includes round-trip transportation from the same boarding point you selected. Be punctual and double-check your departure spot so you don’t miss your ride.
Skip lunch if you are picky. The included BBQ lunches are generous but meat-heavy. If you're vegetarian, have dietary restrictions, or prefer choosing your own food, book a tour without lunch and eat at your own pace.
Sunset tours at Sugarloaf are magical, but remember you won't get back to your hotel until 7-8pm or later. If you have dinner reservations or evening plans, book a morning or midday tour instead.
If you’re feeling adventurous and plan to hike up to Christ the Redeemer, know this: the trail is scenic, but muggings have been reported. Only bring what you absolutely need, leave your valuables behind, and carry cash for the entrance fee at the final gate. Safety first, always.
Speaking of safety—yes, Rio is exciting and vibrant, but it also has a reputation for petty crime. While police do patrol major tourist areas, you still need to be street-smart. Stay alert, especially at train station entrances, and keep your belongings close.
