Visit Christ The Redeemer
Ticked off in February 2016
What it is
Christ the Redeemer is a 30-metre statue on top of Corcovado mountain and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
How to do it
Take the cog train from Cosme Velho or an official van up to the statue. Book tickets ahead and go early.
Top tip
Check the weather: the summit is often in cloud.
My experience
Ticked off, but the full story is still to be written up.
