Description

Christ the Redeemer is an icon of Rio and a tourist destination that lives up to the hype. The imposing statue is located atop Corcovado Mountain, 700 meters above the bustling city. The panoramic views at the top are incredible.

The most common way to the peak is by train, but for anyone up for a challenge, there’s an even better way to go. Join me, a local guide, on a beautiful trek up Corcovado Mountain.

The trek takes us a couple of hours, so you’ll have time to appreciate the lush mountain scenery. The trail starts off easy but quickly becomes steeper. The most difficult part of the trail is a portion with steep rock, where you can use a chain to pull yourself up.

Just when you’re feeling tired, you’ll catch a glimpse of the city from a new perspective and be renewed with inspiration. You’ll reach Christ the Redeemer with a sense of achievement and appreciation for the beauty of the mountain.

As your guide, I’ll be there to help you along and tell you all about the fascinating monument and city.

Challenge yourself to take the most active route to this extraordinary destination!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
