Christ the Redeemer

The main turistic attraction in Rio de Janeiro is Christ The Redeemer, a statue of Jesus Christ located in Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park. The statue is one of the New 7 Wonders of the New World.

Another of the New 7 Wonders I have visited is Machu Pichu ruins in a previous trip. See post for related pictures.

The Christ is located at 700-metre (2,300 ft) and to get there there is a train service station.

Close up picture of the head in detail.

Kagamin posed for a picture like many tourists do.

I know I had should taken the picture in front of her but I missed the chance.

And she wasn't possing at all but I couldnt resist to take her a picture.

More pictures of my trip can be found in my Rio's Flickr Set
