One of the top must-sees of Rio (apart from Sugar Loaf) is the Corcovado mountain, which boasts the iconic statue of Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) atop the 2,316 feet high mountain.
The best way to get to the top is to take the funicular cable-car, which runs from Cosme Velho to the peak.
We were lucky with the weather – beautiful day, clear blue skies… and at last, I can say that I have seen one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World!
P.S. After you get dropped off by the cable car… it’s a climb to Christ’s feet. Comfy shoes are a must!
