The Christ the Redeemer statue is located at the top of Corcovado Mountain. The most popular and easiest way to reach the statue is to take the cogwheel train from the Cosme Velho district, which takes about 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a van or bus from the city center to Paineiras Station and then transfer to another van that will take you to the top of Corcovado. Either option will give you a breathtaking view of the city along the way. It is recommended to buy tickets in advance to avoid long queues.
