Tourist Check Point: Christ the Redeemer

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Parque Nacional da Tijuca - Alto da Boa Vista, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, Brazil

One of the major landmarks in Brazil, though quite overly touristic as expected. The easiest way to get to the top is to get the train. The other method of getting two transfers up is a massive hassle and in my opinion not worth the marginal saving. The views are fantastic and breathtaking. There are lots of touristic concessions but these can easily be ignored to enjoy the experience.
