Hiking begining at the Lage Park, a park covered with atlantic rainforest. An alternative route to Christ Redeemer Statue. The Christ Redeemer statue, at the top of Corcovado Mountain (710m / 2330ft), is certainly Brazil’s most famous landmark, located in the first sector of the Tijuca Forest National Park. Our hiking starts at Parque Lage, a park covered with atlantic rainforest, with a beautiful and imponent old mansion and many century-old palm trees. The ascent lasts about two and a half hours, and from up there the view is very rewarding and it’s considered to be one of Rio’s most privileged belvederes. On our way back, the descent will be made by car or van.

5.00Amazing hiking experience with the best private tour guide Weber Fiorini from RioXtreme. He was very knowledgeable of the area, fun to be with, had excellent communication skills in English,and able to guide us safely. This trail is more for someone with a bit more experience in hiking since it was a bit challenging especially going up due to the elevation. Definitely need a good hiking shoes, bug repellent spray, and one bottle of water is good enough as you can buy one when you reach the top. Took 2 hours and 40 minutes going up with multiple stops and took 1 hour and 30 minutes to go down. Total of 10.5 km. Definitely a must to do both ways but if you can’t, you can take the train going down and just take an Uber to your hotel. The whole hike was scenic and covered under heavy vegetation so it was shaded the entire time. A hiking trip is definitely a must if you ever visit this national park.

5.00Our guides, Gui and Bruno were incredible! Very personable and knowledgeable. The hike itself was a bit of a challenge - sometimes having to use all fours to get up the side of the mountain in very hot temperatures - but the trees offered shade. We were lucky enough to see capuchin monkeys and a whole family of marmosets! The Christ the Redeemer statue is iconic, so it was incredible to see it up close, but the hike itself is the highlight of this tour.
