Board a rustic cogwheel railway and rumble up the steep slope to the summit of Corcovado Mountain, home to Brazil's famed Christ the Redeemer statue. Aerial video and photos capturing this stunning landmark and the surrounding views have been seen around the world. Today, you'll stand at the top of the mountain, some 2,400 feet above sea level, and gaze down at 360-degree panoramas of Rio and its glistening harbor. Witness the epic 125-foot-tall statue, arms outstretched as if to embrace the entire city below. Head back down the mountain for a scenic drive along the sands of Copacabana and Ipanema, where Brazilians and beachgoers from around the globe come to revel in sun-splashed days and romantic nights.
