From the Central Station, go on foot or the Museum of Tomorrow (Porto Maravilha) by light vehicle and then on foot (or by bicycle) to Corcovado (18 km.).

We are studying with the authorities of the state and the city to offer the best way and the best way to reach the Sanctuary of Christ the Redeemer.

For the time being we do not have the authorization to climb to Christ the Redeemer without paying tourist taxes.

There is no certificate in Corcovado.
