Rising from the heart of Rio de Janeiro, the Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado Mountain is an iconic symbol of Brazil. The 38-meter-tall statue with outstretched arms offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the city. Take the vintage cog train through the lush Tijuca Rainforest – the world's largest urban jungle – where you might spot monkeys and toucans. At 710 meters above sea level, the panoramic vista encompasses Copacabana Beach, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the sprawling metropolis. For magical moments, visit at sunset when the statue glows golden against the twilight sky.
