Quote: Corcovado (Christ the redeemer) is must-visit while in Rio. This is probably one of the best-known landmarks in Rio, and it is definitely one of the best views anywhere; you can see all of Rio beneath you. To get there, we took a taxi to the rain... Read the full Corcovado review

Quote: If you are ever in Rio, you have to go to this. It is a giant statue of Jesus Christ, overlooking the ocean and the city of Rio. You can see it from my hotel, it is behind it. When you are up there, it is breathtaking. You can see Sugarloaf too.... Read the full Corcovado review
