The Statue of Christ is undoubtedly the most iconic of Rio's many landmarks. The outstretched arms of Christ seem to embrace the entire city and on a clear day you'll have 360º views of the city from the mountain, allowing you to appreciate Rio in all its glory; from the sprawling inner city areas to the forested mountains to the tropical blue sea littered with a hundred shades of tanned flesh.
