christ the redeemer statue, a step-by-step guide on how to reach it.

Okay, so I finally made it to see that giant Jesus statue in Rio – you know, the Christ the Redeemer one. Let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it.

First off, I had to get to the Corcovado train station, which is tucked away in this neighborhood called Cosme Velho. I’m not from around here, so I hopped on a bus – number 583 from Copacabana. I heard Uber or a taxi works too, but the bus was easy enough. I bought my train ticket right there at the station. And oh, the ticket covers your ride up and back, plus it gets you into the statue area.

The train ride itself was cool, winding up through the forest. I did see some people hiking up, and I found out later it’s actually free to hike to the top! It’s a pretty clear path, so you won’t get lost, they say it takes about an hour or so if you’re in decent shape. I’m not really a hiker, so I was happy to be on the train.

Once we got to the top, wow, the view was just amazing. You can see the whole city! And the statue? It’s massive! I had no idea you could actually go inside it. Turns out, there’s this little platform thing where you can walk out onto the arms! There are some openings on each arm, which I guess they use for repairs.

  • Get to the station: I took the 583 bus from Copacabana to the Corcovado train station in Cosme Velho.
  • Buy a ticket: I bought a round-trip train ticket at the station, which also included entry to the statue.
  • Ride the train: The train ride up was scenic, passing through the forest.
  • Enjoy the view: The view from the top was breathtaking, overlooking the entire city of Rio.
  • Explore the statue: I discovered that you can actually go inside the statue and walk on its arms through openings used for repairs.

I even heard that to get to Jesus’s head, you have to go through his neck. I didn’t try that, though. Just being up there and taking it all in was enough for me. It was a really cool experience, and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re ever in Rio. And hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, maybe try the hike!

That’s it!

Just my little adventure getting to Christ the Redeemer. Hope this was helpful, or at least a fun little read!
