A Corcovado Brazil Tour is a must-see on any tour of Brazil or Rio de Janeiro.

The Christ the Redeemer Statue is a 98-foot tall statue of Jesus Christ. The statue sits on top of the 2,300 foot (710 meters) Corcovado Mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The statue was designed by French Sculptor Paul Landowski between 1922-1931. It is made of a mixture of concrete and soapstone. The statue was designed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. Today, it draws millions of visitors per year to tour Corcovado Mountain because it is truly a one-of-a-kind experience in Brazil.

All you have to worry about is enjoying yourself and taking beautiful pictures! Now, let’s explore all the facts about a Corcovado Brazil Tour.
