Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor) Tours and Tickets

Q: Can you go in the Christ the Redeemer statue?

No, visitors cannot go into the Christ the Redeemer statue. It is possible to enter the statue and climb through its head and along its arms, but this part of the monument is closed to the public—the Sanctuary of Christ the Redeemer rarely grants access.

Q: What is the best day to visit Christ the Redeemer?

As one of the most-visited attractions in Brazil, Christ the Redeemer is always busy. You can typically avoid the biggest crowds by visiting on a weekday, rather than a weekend, but—no matter when you go—you won't have it all to yourself.

Q: What is the earliest you can hike Christ the Redeemer?

Opening hours vary, but Christ the Redeemer typically opens to visitors around 8am. You can make the steep hike up to the statue any time, but know that robberies, muggings, and violent crimes have occurred on the trail. Hike with a group, don't bring valuables, and avoid it at night.

Q: How long does it take to walk to Christ the Redeemer?

It typically takes around 1.5 hours to hike up Corcovado to Christ the Redeemer. It's an easy-to-follow trail, but it is steep. As it's also often hot and humid, the hike is best tackled early in the morning. Wear comfortable footwear and sunscreen and bring water.

Q: Is the hike to Christ the Redeemer hard?

No, the hike to Christ the Redeemer is not hard. Most people of average fitness can make the steep hike, but everyone should be aware of the dangers of the heat and humidity, as well as the risk of crime on the trail: Bring water, but leave valuables behind.

Great way to see the main attractions in Rio

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Gabrielle, was very informative, punctual and friendly. We saw all the points that were included in the package, including Christ the Redeemer, the Sugar Loaf Mountain and the old town. We started at 7:00 am, which safed us time by avoiding the city traffic and the lineups to the main attractions. We highly recommend Gabrielle and her driver Romerus who was also very helpful and attentive. His car was very clean and comfortable.

Great for the ‘must sees’ in Rio.

A great day out that gets you to the ‘must see’ attractions. Flávio our guide adjusted the tour so that we missed the busy times at the main attractions thus reducing queue times which was good. It would have been helpful to me if he’d had a lollipop stick/ flag/ umbrella to see him as a couple of times I lost him for a short while. One guide I saw had an oven glove (mitten) which was unique when he raised his hand.
