Unforgettable experience to have been able to see Christ the Redeemer, as it’s known to be one of the main tourist sites in Rio de Janeiro (apart from the beach). We took a train to get up there and saw a wonderful view of the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and the Ipanema beach; it took about 30 mins to get up there and was worth every minute. You also get a great view of all of Rio de Janeiro from Christ the Redeemer, and was also a perfect way to further immerse myself in the Portuguese language outside of class. Will recommend this site to anyone who visits Rio, and would love to go see it again, but this time, by hiking it.

What an incredible way to start the week! Visiting the Christ the Redeemer, one of the seven wonders of the world, is truly a special and inspiring experience. It’s wonderful that you were able to share this moment with friends and students, especially for those who were experiencing this wonder for the first time. The Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro is truly an icon of beauty and spirituality, offering breathtaking views and a sense of peace and awe in the face of its grandeur. I hope this visit was memorable for all of you!
