About Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro spreads between mountains and the Atlantic, and the statue of Christ the Redeemer stands on the summit of Corcovado, about 700 metres above the city, inside Tijuca National Park. Cloud often wraps the peak, especially in the humid summer months, hiding the statue from below. This Rio de Janeiro live cam, from Paineiras Corcovado, the official transport and visitor centre for the statue, shows Christ the Redeemer and the sky around it.
Which Rio de Janeiro webcam to check first
Check the stream before you go up: if the statue is lost in cloud, the view from the top will be too. Early morning and late afternoon light shows the statue in silhouette.
Before you go to Rio de Janeiro
Book the official Paineiras Corcovado transport ahead in busy periods. Check the national meteorological institute's forecast, as summer afternoons often bring storms.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
