Saying Hi to Son-of-God

Corcovado is not only the name of a song. It is also the name of the huge mountain pverlooking all of Rio, where the larger-than-life statue of Christ the Redeemer is. I'm sure you know all about it. (If not, get a guide or check out the wiki page).
So in the spirit of keeping the touristy stuff to a minimum. It is pretty amazing. Once again, it takes bit of time to get there, in a very old fashioned train going up insanely steep slopes. But you do get there, and you realise it was worth it. Very much so.
