Of course it has always been a dream to see the Statue of Christ, but he is so big and rises so high as you stand beneath. It's breathtaking and a little emotional. It may have more meaning for certain religious groups, but this honoring of Christ also has history and is quite a feat for the people who erected... more

Yes the train leaves every half hour, but if you show up at 2 pm, the ticket you get may not be until 4pm. We were not aware of this until AFTER we purchased our tickets. As there are no refunds, we were forced to hang around in a tiny hot little lobby with about a hundred other travelers who... more

A great place to known more about Rio's geography and understand the spirit of the city. Nature, sightseeing, architecture and religion in the same program. A place everybody should go someday. more

If you were fortunate to catch on a sunny day, this is magnificent. We had Samba drummers play on the Train through the Forest. Once getting to the top , which is easy and helped by escalators, the view is magnificent, you see all of god's splendor symbolically in the arms of Jesus. Me and the people I went with... more

You cannot see anything about Rio without seeing a prominent picture of Corcovado. You can drive to the top, ride a train or trolley, or ride a bus. Must tourists will want to imitate the statue standing in the background while a colleague snaps a pic from the outcropping. more

Went up Corcovavdo in Rio in December 2005. It was magnificient! I am not one for those touristy activities in general, but this was definitely worth it. Take a cab to the train station that takes you to the top. Get in line ot buy a ticket. Your ticket will have a time on it. Don't bother getting in line... more
