In Rio there was a lot of discussion as to the most cost efficient way to visit Christ the Redeemer. I'd recommend a public bus that drops you near enough at the entrance (ask hostel for bus number). It is possible to walk up (2 and a half hours), get the train or bus. A return bus journey was only 20 reales and the services are regular and efficient!

If you´ve been in Rio de Janeiro for a while, or in Brazil in general, you probably know that the weather in this tropical country can be quite confusing. In Rio, it actually rains more in the summer season than during winter.
A visit to Rio de Janeiro could not be considered complete without visiting Cristo Redentor, maybe the most famous tourist attraction in Rio and maybe in Brazil as a whole. When visiting this amazing monument, consider very carefully the weather conditions in the city and around. A very cloudy day would ruin your experience, while a good clear day will make it an unforgettable one.
You really don´t want to pay those high entrance fees and see a big cloud...
