 Rio in the fog by Luchonda
Coravado is a must - the symbol of the City
But Randychiara a new Vt-member and being a carioca- a volonteer guide of the Travela's convinced me to visit not only the most popular touristic places.I can agree aslong as the money goes to the inhabitants who deserve it - not to the Travel agencies ! Leave a Comment

 Christ Redeemer by Alless
Located atop the Corcovado Mountain at a height of 710 meters, the statue of Christ the Redeemer is certainly one of the world's best-known and most-visited monuments. This outing begins in the Cosme Velho District, aboard a miniature train that runs through the steep Atlantic Rainforest up to the foot of the statue, offering stunning glimpses of Rio from many different angles. From the top, the view is nothing short of heavenly: Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, Botanical Gardens, the Jockey Club, and the Lagoon. The entire city spreads out in a magnificent panorama during the day, glittering and magic after dark and always protected by Christ the Redeemer, who blesses visitors and residents from on high.
Visiting hours:
daily from 8:30am to 6:30pm. Leave a Comment

When you reach the top of the train rail line, there's a lift followed by a series of esculators that take you up further to where the statue of Christ the Redeemer is.
The statue itself is the most famous sight in Rio. It was built between 1926 and 1931 with funds raised from donations. It stands some 30m (100ft) high on a 6m (20ft) pedestal and weighs 700 tons on top of the Corcovado (hunchback) mountain that is 710m high above the city. It's virtually visible from everywhere and at night is illuminated against the blackness of the sky. Leave a Comment

 Christ the Redeemer by Jez79
The ride to the top of Corcovado is a trip in itself, with the choice of a long, winding road, or a slow, steep train ride. The view from the train is interesting, with a few sneaking glimpses of what is to come. From the last train station there are now elevators and then escalators to the top, elevating the need to climb huge numbers of stairs (you can still give the ol' legs a workout if you choose). The statue of Christ the Redeemer is very grand indeed, and the view from the top spectacular. Rio's harbour and the amazing geography that makes up the city are a very impressive site indeed.
There are loads of tourists making this trip, so be prepared for crowds. You can check out some more photos of the Christ in my travelogue. Leave a Comment Directions: You can buy tickets for the train to the top from Rua Cosme Velho, 513

Probably, when you think about Rio, you think about Corcovado and Redeemer Christ. This hill and its famous statue are the symbols of this city.
You will not see a picture of that statue on this page; when I went to Rio, it was being repaired. And you will not see a picture of the beautiful sight you can see from the top of Corcovado, because the day I went up, it was rainning and a thick mantle of clouds covered the landscape!
Probablemente, cuando piensas en Río, piensas en el Corcovado y el Cristo Redentor. Esta colina y su famosa estatua son los símbolos de esta ciudad.
No verás una foto de esa estatua en esta página; cuando fui a Río, estaba en reparaciones. Y no verás una foto de la espectacular vista que se puede apreciar desde la cima del Corcovado, porque el día que subí, estaba lloviendo, y un grueso manto de nubes tapaba el paisaje! Leave a Comment
