About this experience
Tijuca National Park and the Christ the Redeemer Trail offers one of the most iconic experiences in Rio, blending natural beauty with cultural significance. 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.

Beautiful hike with Rafael
We went on this Hike with Rafael. He was so knowledgeable about the forest and the entire city of Rio. It was an honour to be shown this area by him! He took some lovely pictures of us too and taught us loads We highly recommend booking this trip. The hike itself is moderate and beautiful the whole way.
Response from the operator: Hi there! It was a pleasure for us to show you the beauties of Rio! Awesome day on the Christ Redeemer! Thank you so much for your feedback! Always count on us for an upcoming adventure! Kind regards!

Best tour we have done this trip!
What a fantastic tour! The admin team were prompt, informative and responsive with every question I had prior to the tour and really helpful in picking the best day as the weather has been a bit patchy this week. Bernardo our guide arrived very promptly to pick us up and immediately put us at ease with his friendly manner and calm demeanour. He was a safe, but efficient driver, getting us to the park a moment before opening so we could be the first ones in. The trail itself is a great way to get up the the Christ Redeemer statue. We saw many birds and a mini capybara (I can’t remember the proper name). Bernardo kept up a comfortable pace, giving us lots of information and stopping at appropriate spots for breaks. The statue was very crowded but he helped us get some great photos and pointed out landmarks around the viewpoint which was very interesting. We also saw monkeys with their babies on their backs! After the walk back down, he took us around the park a little as well and we got to see the school of art and a temporary exhibit too! I would definitely recommend this tour!! I would say you need to be relatively fit, by the end we had walked 22,000 steps and climbed 157 flights of stairs according to my phone. Thanks again Bernardo for a wonderful tour.
Response from the operator: Hi, Annabel! You guys had a great day to hike. Good temperature and a perfect view from the top of all the city! Nice pace during the hike. Congratulations! Thank you so much for your feedback! Always count on us for an upcoming adventure in Rio!

Great Hike
I loved the hike. The views were excellent, and I got to see a lot of interesting wildlife on the way, including several monkeys and a toucan. On top of that, my guide was great. He was fun to talk to and was really informative both about the type of wildlife native to the area and the history of the Christ the Redeemer statue.
Response from the operator: Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback! We had a great day and your pace was very nice! Always count on us for an upcoming adventure! Kind regards.

Weber was such a wonderful guide -- I had to reschedule, and he went above and beyond ensuring I would have the best experience in Brazil! Thank you so much for everything, can't wait to come back for another hike!
Response from the operator: Hi Emily! Thank you so much for your feedback! It was a pleasure to make the things work for you and that way you had a good tour in a beautiful day at the Chrsit Redeemer. Always count on us for your next adventure in Rio!

An unforgettable trip, with a wonderful guide.
Hiking up through the Tijuca Forest was fabulous, especially because my wonderful guide, Rafael, knew the names of so many trees, plants, birds, animals, etc. And such a nice guy - very supportive and helpful in every way! The views from the top were spectacular, particularly the places we stopped along the way to enjoy the scenery without the crowds.
Response from the operator: Hi Connie! Thank you so much for your feedback! Amazing day at the top of Corcovado mountain! Congratulations for your pace. It was a pleasure for us! Always count on us for an upcoming adventure! Best regards.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Christ the Redeemer Trail x Lage Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Christ the Redeemer Trail x Lage Park cost?
+
Prices start at $71 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 Trail x Lage Park take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Trail x Lage Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Trail x Lage Park?
+
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 Trail x Lage Park suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Christ the Redeemer Trail x Lage Park?
+
Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Christ the Redeemer Trail x Lage Park 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.
