Located on top of the Corcovado Mountain lies the iconic statue of ‘Christ the Redeemer’ which embraces the people of Rio de Janeiro with open arms stretched out since it was unveiled in the year 1931. The statue is included in the list of ‘Seven Wonders of the World’ and this awe-inspiring soapstone and cement structure offers amazing panoramic views of the whole city of Rio. It is best to arrive early in order to catch a great view of the statue and the entire area.
