Chris The Redeemer
Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) is an Art Deco statue of Jesus located 700 meters high on top of Codcovada mountain in the Tiuca Forest National park.
If cloud cover is not too bad, you can see the city of Rio.
Sugarloaf Mountain
Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Acucar) is almost 400 meters high and is located on a peninsula that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean. To get to the top, you need to take 2 cable cars.
After the first ride, you can see a great view of the mountain.
The second is only a few minutes long.
From the mountain, there are many stunning views. The famous Copacabana beach is in the background.
On the other side you find lots of boats and a fortress.
After a 30 minutes wander with an ice cream stop ... yes, it's hot up there ... we headed back down.
Time to Relax
Visiting both sites too around 5 hours. Afterwards, we headed back to our hotel to enjoy the afternoon. This is a panorama from out hotel room.
