We really enjoyed the ride to the statue, you got to see nearly everything the city has to offer, and it was a lot. We had seen the statue before on a picture, but weren’t quite sure on what to expect. But, it was a spectacular, especially the views of the city of Rio in the peak of the day. It really helped us appreciate the culture of the people and gave us a positive outlook on the country. We were so glad we got to see it because when a lot of the city and surrounding attractions, some that we may not have had time to see. After a few hours at the Christ Redeemer statue, we decided to go back to the house, arriving at about 5:00 pm with the heavy traffic of the capital.
