Corcovado Tour
The Corcovado(hunchback) mountain, so named because of its shape, is home to probably the most memorable and identifying image of Rio - The Christ The Redeemer statue. Arms boldly stretched in welcome, he embraces the city and the magnificent Bay over which he looks.
Situated in the heart of the Tijuca National Park, the statue was created by sculptor Paul Landoviski, and built by the engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, from 1926 to 1931, when it was inaugurated.
