What's the cheapest way to reach the Cristo Redentor (Corcovado)?
I've read about a trail to get to the Cristo Redentor, but I'm not sure about the safety of a trail like this in Rio de Janeiro. Tours to the Corcovado are very expensive and the cable car is not significantly cheaper than these. The wikitravel talks about the lines 583 and 584 (from Copacabana and Ipanema to Corcovado railway station), but don't explains if these lines arrives to the Cristo Redentor and the travel price (and if you have to pay an extra ticket once you arrive).
