2.Sugarloaf Cable Car and Corcovado Train Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 267 reviews · 4 hours · from $86

Visit Christ the Redeemer by historic cog train, then ride Sugarloaf’s official cable car to 396 meters above Rio. This self-guided ticket package lasts four hours and includes admission to both attractions, but not transport, food, drinks, or a guide. Bring your passport or ID and watch for a separate email containing the actual entrance tickets.

“A really good day out. Only downside is a bit of waiting for the train for Christ the Redeemer. The ticket information could be a bit clearer as it is a bit confusing which ticket is which and what time you should be there. Overall definitely worth doing and the views are amazing”
