ALONE ON THE RIDE TO CRISTO REDENTOR STATUE 

Cristo Redentor is one of the main tourist attractions in Brazil. The statue is on top of Corcovado Hill in Tijuca National Park. The site has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.
There are two ways to visit the monument. By train or by van. The train leaves from the Cosme Velho neighborhood, in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Vans leave from three points in the city. Copacabana Beach, Largo do Machado or Paineiras.

The train is the responsibility of the concessionaire Trem do Corcovado. You can take the subway and get off at Largo do Machado station. There, board line 580 which passes in front of the train station. Ask the driver for help or find yourself using google maps to find the drop-off location.
Vans are easier because boarding can be done at Copacabana Beach. Another boarding point is at Largo do Machado, a square that has a subway station.
If you want to go by car, you can choose to board Paineiras, which is close to Cristo Redentor. There is a visitor center with a restaurant and parking. From Paineiras to Cristo Redentor you must board the Paineiras-Corcovado company van.
The most classic way is to choose to go by train. The railway line cuts through the forest going up the Corcovado hill and offering a beautiful view of the city.
I hope this information helps you on your journey. Below are the official websites of the mentioned companies.

 The Pedra Branca State Park is in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro and encompasses eleven neighborhoods in the city. The park is considered one of the largest urban forests in the world. There are trails of all levels that lead to beautiful viewpoints, waterfalls, natural pools, a lake and even wild beaches. The park suffers from abandonment, as the number that takes care of security is very low compared to the size of the area. The forest suffers from the advance of irregular constructions and the action of hunters, which ends up making it difficult to observe the local fauna. Pedra Branca State Park is the highest point in the city at 1025 meters high, but its view is limited due to the vegetation that surrounds the place.
