The statue of Christ the Redeemer is one of the most famous attractions of Rio de Janeiro. Get up-close-and-personal with this Brazilian icon by climbing up its famous mountain, Mount Corcovado. Named “hunchback” in Portuguese for its curved peak, this 710-metre mountain is located in the middle of the Tijuca National Park. Hike through its jungle to see local monkeys swinging from trees, before emerging above the foliage. At the peak, not only will you be able to see the grandeur of this mammoth statue, but also admire the beauty of the city of Rio beneath you. Snap a selfie to capture one of the most iconic Brazilian vistas at the top of Mount Corcovado.
