Christ the Redeemer by Train + Sugarloaf Mountain Tour
Activity Details
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel and begin this tour in which we'll visit two of the most iconic places in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain.
Firstly, we'll ascend to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain with an exciting cable car ride. This 400-metre (1,312 ft) high mountain is part of the Carioca mountain range and is located in the Urca neighbourhood, right next to Vermelha Beach.
From the top of the Sugarloaf, you'll enjoy one of the best views of the city, getting a perfect postcard view of the Guanabara Bay bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. Don't forget to snap some photos!
We'll continue our tour to Cosme Velho Station, where we'll board the famous Corcovado Rack Railway to reach the Christ the Redeemer, which is located at the top of the Corcovado hill, 710 metres (2,329 ft) above sea level.
The train ride through the Rio de Janeiro rainforest takes about 20 minutes and ends with a beautiful panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's first electrically powered railway!
Inaugurated in 1884 by Pedro II, it's older than the Christ the Redeemer monument itself, which was inaugurated in 1931. Did you know that famous people such as Pope John Paul II, Albert Einstein or Diana of Wales have traveled on this train? Incredible!
After this experience, we'll get off again and make our way back to your hotel, where we'll arrive after a total of 5 hours.
