Trenzinho do Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer

We offer skip the line access. We take the famous “Trenzinho do Corcovado”, which is Portuguese for "Corcovado train" to the top of the Corcovado hill to reach that famous attraction and have sweeping views of our city. With arms wide open to the Guanabara Bay, the statue of the Christ is a work of art that cannot be compared to anything else.

We take the cable car ride to the top of the mountain. The ride is done in 2 stages: begin at the boarding station to Urca Mountain and then from Urca Mountain to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain.
