Wondering if Christ the Redeemer in Rio is worth the visit? Watch this video for tips on how to get there, what to expect, and if it's a must-see for first time visitors to Rio.

As an American traveling to Rio for the first time, I was unsure if visiting Christ the Redeemer was worth it. But after experiencing it myself, I can confidently say it's a must-see in Rio. Watch and find out why!

Experience one of the most scenic train rides in the world as I take you on a journey up Corcovado Mountain to see the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Nestled between tropical rainforests and overlooking the breathtaking views of Rio, the Corcovado Rack Railway carries passengers on a 2.3 mile ascent to reach the peak where the 98 foot tall statue stands. Built in the 1920s, this historic funicular railway takes just 20 minutes to climb over 710 meters through 23 tunnels and past 3 stations.

Along the way, you'll see glimpses of the coastline, beaches and lush greenery through the train windows. When we emerge from the final tunnel, the first glimpse of the towering white statue against the bright blue sky is truly awe-inspiring.

Once at the top, take in the panoramic 360 degree views of Rio and the surrounding area from the base of Christ the Redeemer. Learn about the history and construction of this iconic landmark, declared one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

I hope you enjoy this scenic train ride up Corcovado Mountain to see one of the most famous statues in the world. Let me know if you have any other questions about visiting Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro!
