Sightseeing
Rio de Janeiro · Brazil
Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) is Rio de Janeiro's iconic statue of Jesus Christ atop Corcovado Mountain, a 30-meter Art Deco figure with outstretched arms embracing the city, its beaches, and Guanabara Bay below. Completed in 1931 and named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, it is the largest Art Deco statue in the world. The hilltop views over Rio's dramatic coastal geography — the Sugarloaf, the beaches, the jungle-clad mountains — are without parallel in any major city.
