Welcome to Rio de Janeiro!
Continuing with videos celebrating the 10000 subscribers to the channel, I bring you one of the 7 wonders of the world for you.
Christ the Reddemer is located in the Alto da Boa Vista neighborhood, more than 700 meters high, at the top of Corcovado hill. It can be accessed by trail, which starts at Parque Lage "There is a video here on the channel, where it shows the point that starts the trail". By road, through the Paineiras road, it can come from the neighborhood of Alto da Boa Vista, Cosme Velho or Santa Teresa. And you can also get on the charming Corcovado train.
Many years ago, the Santa Teresa tram had an end point where it was possible for passengers to board the Corcovado train, and it became a complete sightseeing tour, starting in downtown Rio de Janeiro, going to the Corcovado train station for go up to the monument of Christ.
The statue of Christ was inaugurated on October 12, 1931, but before the statue was built, the top of Corcovado Hill already had a lookout with a building called the Hat of Sun of Corcovado, which was accessed by a railway branch, that is still used today. The corcovado train began to be built in 1882, and was opened in 1884 by Emperor D. Pedro II. It was the first railway for tourism purposes in the Americas.
A curious fact about Corcovado, is that the young prince D. Pedro I, with his adventurous spirit, climbed to the top of Corcovado, and, according to believe, he was the first white man to reach the summit. Later, as Emperor of Brazil, D. Pedro I organized an official expedition to open a path where people could reach Corcovado, already imagining the tourist potential that would be there.
