Christ the Redeemer: Guided Hiking Tour from Parque Lage + Transfer

About this experience

This guided hiking tour covers the trail from Parque Lage to Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Mountain, rising 710 metres above Rio de Janeiro. The route begins at 414 Rua Jardim Botânico, at the edge of Tijuca National Park, where the path passes through dense Atlantic Forest alongside imperial palms and the park's historic 19th-century mansion. The statue itself stands 30 metres tall on a base of eight metres, and has overlooked the city since its inauguration in 1931. The full experience runs approximately six hours, with a live guide leading the ascent throughout. The hike takes around two hours at a moderate pace and requires reasonable fitness. At the summit, visitors look out over the full sweep of Rio de Janeiro attractions, where Guanabara Bay, the Atlantic coastline, and the city's neighbourhoods spread out below the monument. The descent is by car or van, included in the booking, making for a straightforward return to the base. Hotel pickup and drop-off are also included. Note that the Corcovado Mountain entrance fee and food and drinks are not covered. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users. Tickets are not available for those requiring step-free access.
