Christ the Redeemer


The statue of Christ the Redeemer, on the top of the Corcovado mountain, overlooking Rio De Janeiro is one of the most easily recognisable features of the city. There is definitely some great view of the city from the Corvocado - but a wonder of the world it is not. To put it on the same level as Machu Picchu or the Taj Mahal? Anyone can put a giant statue on top of a hill - there is not much of a wonder to it.
