About this experience
Combine cycling and hiking on this unique outdoor adventure to visit Rio’s most famous landmark. Ride through Tijuca Forest on the scenic Estrada Redentor, then hike the final 1 km trail from the Paineiras Visitor Centre to reach the summit of Corcovado. At the top, marvel at the Christ the Redeemer statue and panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro before taking the historic train ride down through the forest. You start with a fairly easy mountain bike ride along a car-free forest road, surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife. Pause at scenic lookouts and waterfalls for photos before arriving at Paineiras. From there, continue on foot along the designated trail to the summit. Your reward: the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue and sweeping views of Rio’s coastline, mountains, and neighborhoods. The experience ends with a descent through the forest on the historic Corcovado Tram-Rio de Janeiro's first ever tourist attraction, dating back to imperial times.

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Christ the Redeemer Bike and Hike Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Christ the Redeemer Bike and Hike Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $430 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Christ the Redeemer Bike and Hike Experience take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Christ the Redeemer Bike and Hike Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Christ the Redeemer Bike and Hike Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Christ the Redeemer Bike and Hike Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 14. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Christ the Redeemer Bike and Hike Experience?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Christ the Redeemer Bike and Hike Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
