Christ The Redeemer - Corcovado

Edit This
i

Elected one of the "New 7 Wonders of the World".
Corcovado (the hunchback) is the mountain dominating the Rio skyline. On the top is the statue of Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor). This statue was built to commemorate 100 years of Brazilian independence.
The view of the city from the top of Corcovado is worth a visit!
