Standing atop Corcovado (which means 鈥榟unchback鈥), Cristo Redentor gazes out over Rio, a placid expression on his well-crafted face. The mountain rises straight up from the city to 710m, and at night the brightly lit 38m-high open-armed statue 鈥 all 1145 tons of him 鈥 is visible from nearly every part of the city.

Corcovado lies within the Parque Nacional da Tijuca. The most popular way to reach the statue is to take the red narrow-gauge train that departs every 30 minutes, and takes approximately 20 minutes to reach the top. Note that same-day tickets are not available from the cog train station. Buy tickets online or from an authorized seller around Rio (the website lists numerous places to buy under 'Selling Points'); you must select a date and time when purchasing. To reach the cog station, take any 鈥楥osme Velho鈥 bus: you can take bus 583 from Copacabana, Ipanema or Leblon.

You can also go by Parque da Tijuca鈥揳uthorized van to visit the monument. These depart from three locations around town: Copacabana (in front of Pra莽a do Lido from 8am to 4pm; adult/child R$74/48), Largo do Machado (8am to 4pm; adult/child R$74/48) and Paineiras, a few kilometres north of the statue (8:30am to 5pm; adult/child R$41/15).
