The Christ Redeemer statue is absolutely huge. When in Rio you can see it from most places but it doesn’t seem gigantic. Once at the top of the Corcovado you just realise not only how big it is but how huge the city is for it to seem that tiny from far away. Rio de Janeiro […]

If you take the train to the top of the Corcovado to see the Cristo Redentor you may get lucky and that band may join you. These guys serenaded us with samba the whole way. It was so cheerful most people eventually stood and danced! Rio de Janeiro – 2013
