A skip-the-line admission ticket to Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro that lets you bypass the queue and ride the Corcovado train straight to the statue.

Check in at least 40 minutes before your chosen time, and bring a valid passport.

The experience

Christ the Redeemer sits 710 meters above Rio de Janeiro and draws over a million visitors each year. The skip-the-line ticket cuts through that volume by giving you priority access: you show your downloaded e-voucher with its barcode to a Corcovado representative at the statue, they escort you to a priority line, and you receive your admission ticket without waiting with the crowds at the main entrance. From there you board the Corcovado train and ride up to the landmark itself.

The ticket covers all fees and taxes. You choose between a morning or afternoon departure when you book, and the whole visit runs about two hours from arrival to return. The Corcovado train is wheelchair accessible, and all areas around the statue are accessible as well. Note that temporary restrictions apply to wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility during rain or wet surfaces, so the accessibility equipment cannot be used in those conditions. A valid passport is required on the day of travel.

During the holiday season, the attraction gets extremely busy and the skip-the-line service may be affected, though Trem do Corcovado works to maintain priority access. The statue is currently undergoing renovation with a temporary reduction in visitor capacity, which is why arriving at least 40 minutes early for check-in matters. It gives you time to meet the representative and move through the priority process without rushing.
