Things to know about Corcovado – Christ the Redeemer
Every year, over 300,000 people visit the statue of Christ using the centenary Corcovado Train, the oldest tourist ride in the country. Once at the top, the huge white statue of Christ the Redeemer pays homage to Rio’s religiosity, and has become a symbol of the City and of its people, receiving all visitors with its arms open.
The statue of Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado was a gift to the city from France. It stands 100 ft (30 m) and has a chapel at the base of the statue that can hold 150 people. The statue can be seen from many of Rio’s neighborhoods.
