Travel Diary: Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro

Posted on 18 January 2016 by Katie Poole • 1 Comment

It wouldn’t be a trip to Rio without visiting the Cristo Redentor. Created by French sculptor Paul Landowski and built by the Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, it’s one of the New7Wonders of the World. We visited towards the end of our trip, and lucked out with the weather (turns out the statue is often covered by clouds … Continue reading →
