A 20-minute ride cutting through the national forest.

During peak season the company only offers 10 tickets hourly. Higher demand increases the lines for the vans as well as for the box office in Cosme Velho. It’s best to buy tickets in advance.
PERK: Your ticket will have the day and time scheduled avoiding the wait on line and queues.There will be a number on the ticket to call in case of cancellation or re-schedule.
During Autumn and winter seasons there is a possibility of foggy weather with a low fog covering the city. But in general, throughout the day, the sun comes out. The best time would be in the middle of the day after the fog has cleared. Afternoons are best.
Here is the website to check the current weather. See the statue LIVE.
