Exploring Christ the Redeemer

Christ the Redeemer, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, is a symbol of Rio de Janeiro and a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Standing majestically atop Corcovado Mountain, this 38-meter (125-foot) statue offers stunning views of the city, while representing a deep cultural and spiritual connection for Brazil. When you’re in Rio, visiting this iconic site is essential—and with Premier Concierge Brazil, our Full-Day City Tour ensures you experience not just Christ the Redeemer, but all of Rio’s top attractions in one unforgettable day.

What is Christ the Redeemer?

Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) is one of the world’s most recognized landmarks, symbolizing peace and the welcoming nature of Brazil. Located 710 meters (2,329 feet) above sea level, it offers a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant landscapes, including Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana Beach, and the endless coastline of the Atlantic Ocean.

Inaugurated in 1931, this statue is not only a cultural and religious symbol, but also a feat of engineering and architecture. It has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. For any visitor to Rio, standing beneath the outstretched arms of Christ the Redeemer is a powerful and awe-inspiring moment.
