Christ the Redeemer Trail x Lage Park

Christ the Redeemer Trail is a unique way to experience this iconic Rio’s landmark. The trail takes you through lush rainforest!

Tijuca National Park and the Christ the Redeemer Trail offers one of the most iconic experiences in Rio, blending natural beauty with cultural significance. The park, part of the UNESCO-listed site, is home to the one of the largest urban rainforest in the world, the Atlantic Forest, which plays a crucial role in preserving biodiversity.
Starting at Lage Park, the moderate hike to Corcovado Mountain takes about 2 hours, winding through the lush rainforest, home to diverse flora and fauna. The trail is moderately challenging, but the payoff is spectacular once you reach the top.
Christ the Redeemer statue (709m / 2326ft of altitude), a symbol of faith and a global landmark, offers breathtaking panoramic views of Rio, from Sugarloaf Mountain to Copacabana Beach.
This viewpoint is truly one of the best ways to experience Rio’s natural and urban landscape together.
