Good to know
- Go up on the official Corcovado train from Rua Cosme Velho 513 (since 1884) or the official Paineiras vans; only these and walkers may use the road to the top.
- The van operator recommends afternoons from 14:00 as the calmest time; clouds often hide the statue, so check the sky before buying.
- The steep trail from Parque Lage is an alternative; Tijuca National Park advises going with a guide.
