Riding the Corcovado train is like stepping back in time. This little red train first began its climb in 1884, decades before Christ the Redeemer was even built, making it the oldest tourist railway in Brazil.
Over the years, the train has swapped steam for electricity, becoming quieter, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly. Today, it glides smoothly through Tijuca National Park, preserving the beauty of the rainforest it passes through.
For more than a century, this ride has welcomed renowned guests, including Pope Pius XII, Albert Einstein, and Diana, Princess of Wales, and millions of everyday visitors who wanted to experience Rio’s most iconic view. When you board, you’re joining a long line of travelers who’ve made the same journey, which is completely unforgettable.
