Corcovado,

Corcovado mountain and the statue of christ is probably the most moving experience I have had. The view of the entire city is like no other. With out a doubt worth the money. You can hire a driver to take you to the top for about r60.00 which right now is about 30 dollars and hour. Much better than on train. I went at 9 am and had no problem with fog..better to go before it gets hot.

This is where Christ the Redeemer is located. The view of Rio from the top is unbelievable. Please do not attempt to walk to the top; most people aren't prepared for the winding- steep road and find themselves passing out or trying to hitch a ride to the top. For 36 Reais there are vans that will take you half way to take some nice pictures for about 20 minutes and then take you to the top for about 40 minutes to see the Christ staute. Once there take advantage of the gift shops, snack bars, etc. Afterwards the van will take you all the way to the bottom; you pay after the tour is complete. You can't miss the guys that are in charge of this tour because they are wearing white shirts and black pants. There is no way you can go to Rio and not make this trip, you'll be glad you did.

Great view! Great city! A lifetime experience. I was there twice. And can't wait to return. By train, it's a very nice trip. Beautiful landscapes.

it was and is soooooooo beautiful. it is very peacefull. thank you so much for that tranquil experience. i had an exlent time. the people are so friendly and kind. i cant wait to go back ASAP.

I hated this place it was a horror to my family and i . We were truly dissapointed. It was extremly expensive and the most pethtic holiday i have ever been on. I hated so much we write 10 letter of complaints to the Mayor.

Worth every penny. No place more beautiful! Great views of the entire city and beaches. Once in a lifetime trip. Do youself a favor and go. Breathtaking!!!! I will never forget it. Pictures do not do it justice.

I went to Corcovado after school with my friends and it's wonderful!!! We went walking!! :D We can't wait to go back!! We took a lot of pictures!! I love my city!!

This is a very nice place, with a nice overall atmosphere and good value, my overall experience was good and I will return. I just wish I had more vacat6ion time.

I would recommend anybody who goes to Rio.We can see all city up there.This city in my opinion is the most beautiful in the world.

If you go to Rio, you MUST go to Corcovado. The view is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is great. Rio de Janeiro is set on such an interesting landscape that going up to Corcovado gives you a perspective of the city that you would otherwise miss. It's just a great place and like 'icing on the cake' for any trip to Rio. I recommend a trip to Corcovado over a trip to Sugarloaf. If on foot, I would suggest taking a taxi (available at the base of the road) up to Corcovado -- taxi drivers will usually let you stop at a couple viewpoints 1/2 way up the drive, and they will know Rio -- i.e, they can offer plenty of advice for anything else you might want to do in Rio. Further, the trolley (the other means for travelling up to Corcovado) was help up (no kidding!) a few years back by thugs, I don't know if any changes have been made to make sure the trolley is more secure today.
