The peak and statue can be reached via a narrow road, by the {{convert|3.8|km|abbr=on}} [[Corcovado Rack Railway]], which was opened in 1884 and refurbished in 1980, or by the walking trail on the south side of the mountain that starts from [[Parque Lage]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Parque Lage to Christ the Redeemer |url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Parque+Lage+-+R.+Jardim+Bot%C3%A2nico,+414+-+Jardim+Bot%C3%A2nico,+Rio+de+Janeiro+-+RJ,+22461-000,+Brazil/Cristo+Redentor+-+Alto+da+Boa+Vista,+Rio+de+Janeiro+-+State+of+Rio+de+Janeiro,+Brazil/@-22.9546839,-43.2175744,1274m/?hl=en |website=[[Google Maps]] |access-date=2 September 2020 |language=en}}</ref> The railway uses three electrically powered trains, with a capacity of 540 passengers per hour. The rail trip takes approximately 20 minutes and departs every 20 minutes. Due to its limited passenger capacity, the wait to board at the entry station can take several hours. The year-round schedule is 8:30 to 18:30.

From the train terminus and road, the observation deck at the foot of the statue is reached by 223 steps, or by [[elevator]]s and [[escalator]]s. Among the most popular year-round tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro, the Corcovado railway, access roads, and statue platform are commonly crowded.
