CHRIST THE REDEEMER TRAIL

Did you know it’s possible to reach Brazil’s most famous monument by hiking? The Christ the Redeemer Trail, also known as the Corcovado Trail, is one of the most iconic hikes in Rio de Janeiro. It takes you through stunning sections of the Tijuca Forest – the largest urban rainforest in the world!

​

ITINERARY: The official entrance is through the Parque Lage neighborhood, a destination in itself, featuring gardens, imperial palm trees, ponds, and a historic mansion. From there, the trail begins its climb through the forest, leading you right to the foot of Christ the Redeemer, at 710 meters (2,329 ft) above sea level.
