Corcovado Rack Railway

The Corcovado Train is a rack railway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that travels from Cosme Velho to the summit of the Corcovado Mountain at an altitude of 2,329 feet. The summit is well-known for its colossal statue of Christ the Redeemer, and for its scenic views; from here you can enjoy breathtaking panoramas over the sprawling city and the golden beaches of Rio.

The railway has undergone careful reconstruction since originally opening in 1884. Initially steam-hauled, the train now operates on electric. There are four trains, each formed of two carriages, which take passengers to the summit on a twenty-minute long, scenic trip. Onboard, the views are spectacular as the train rises towards the summit, winding through the lush landscapes that overlook the Brazilian capital.

“Itinerary was great. Tour manager excellent. the only thing that didn’t live up to expectations was the ranch excursion, it was ok but expensive for what it was.
