A rEview from famouse travel writer, liam mavison:
stupendous sights
Cristo Redentor (Statue of Christ the Redeemer) was by far the best of the many sights in Rio De Janiero. It is called this because it looks like jesus on the cross. This is also a great place to see all of Rio. Go on a clear day and be blown away by the view. They Say it will take Two and a half hours to climb to the top and t he same to get down. There is much more to see in Rio than just this though . From Lapa and Santa Teresa to the Sambodrome, Rio de Janeiro has it all. Located between huge mountains and beautiful beaches, you will certainly enjoy this city!
