Your Travel Experience with South American Tours DMC
You leave the hotel and travel to Cosme Velho station to take the cog railroad (*) through the Tijuca forest to the 728m high Corcovado. The train takes about 20 minutes and offers a beautiful view of the lush tropical vegetation, picturesque landscapes of the beaches and the city itself. At the top of the mountain you leave the train and after a few steps you reach the famous statue of Christ. After enjoying this breathtaking sight, you will return to the base by train. You end the tour with a stop at the famous white sandy beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon before returning to your hotel.
**Note: (*) In the exceptional case that the train does not run, the return trip will instead be made by vans authorized by the city administration to/from the Largo do Machado parking lot.
The afternoon is at leisure.
