Departure to visit Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Mountain (entrance fee included). Afterwards visit the Santa Teresa neighborhood.
Christ the Redeemer: The Christ the Redeemer is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the
World, and is located at the Corcovado Mountain (710 meters) with a height of 38m. Board on a
centenarian eco-friendly electric train, which does not pollute and cuts through the well-preserved
Atlantic Forest - part of Tijuca's National Park. The ride takes about 20min (one way), while the speed uphill is 15 km/h and downhill is 12 km/h. The train has capacity for 345 passengers/hour. Upon reaching the top and at the foot of Cristo Redentor, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city.
Santa Teresa: Located in an old neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Santa Teresa seems to have stopped in time. Known to have historical buildings from 1750 and for the French architecture inspired by that time, it was where the old carioca aristocracy lived. It is indeed a very charming place where lots of local artists are living and exhibiting their arts. (Not recommended on Mondays as most local art galleries and cultural spaces remain closed).
