Not a lot of people know the meaning of Corcovado, the word that means " Heart where are you going" comes from Latin. With the arms wide open the Christ is blessing not only Rio de Janeiro, but also its residents and tourist that travels from all around the globe to have this unique experience. I just loved to be there. It was a unique experience to me.

A "must see"
By wilsonds72, 02/15/06
This is where Christ the Redeemer is located. The view of Rio from the top is unbelievable. Please do not attempt to walk to the top; most people aren't prepared for the winding- steep road and find themselves passing out or trying to hitch a ride to the top. For 36 Reais there are vans that will take you half way to take some nice pictures for ...

Drive to it

There is a train that goes up to the mountain, and that is a pretty cool ride. I do, however, recomend that you rent a car or get a cab and drive all the way. There are some very nice stops on the way, the view as you go up to the mountain is simply Fantastic! Well worth the time.

AWESOME!
By gl197328, 12/02/05
Worth every penny. No place more beautiful! Great views of the entire city and beaches. Once in a lifetime trip. Do youself a favor and go. Breathtaking!!!! I will never forget it. Pictures do not do it justice.
Corcovado's view is just breathtaking! You can see the entire city of Rio de Janeiro from the top of Corcovado, get excellent pictures of the Sugar Loaf mountains, and get a really cool picture of the Christ that sits on top.
Even if you're not religious, this is one site you can't miss in Rio! I've been to Corcovado about three times, and each time it's as if I were seeing it for the first time all over again!
