DESIGN OF THE CHRIST BLESSING STATUE RIO DE JANEIRO:

The original design of Christ the Redeemer Statue was done by a Brazilian, named Heitor da Silva Costa. He was also the engineer in charge of the construction. He shared the project with French sculptor Paul Landowski, who took almost two years working on the hands and face. The Christ Statue was built from 1926 to 1931, with funds raised from donations. There's a chapel for 150 people on the base of the statue.

 

TRAIN RIDE CORCOVADO MOUNTAIN RIO DE JANEIRO BRAZIL:

The train ride up the Corcovado mountain, Rio de Janeiro, is a plus, as it goes through a nature trail. And the special charm is that Estrada de Ferro do Corcovado was originally built in 1882 by Emperor Dom Pedro II.

 

CHRIST BLESSING STATUE - MODERN WONDER OF THE WORLD:

On the 7th of July 2007, the Christ Blessing Statue was declared as one of the Seven Wonders of the modern world, a private initiative of the New Open World Corporation (NOWC), createde by the Swiss Bernard Weber.

If you go on your own, take a bus or taxi to Rua Cosme Velho, 513. This is where you buy tickets for the small train that goes uphill.
