On the Corcovado hill: the Christ's statue

From Urca we took the bus to the Cosme Velho, the neighborhood from Rio de Janeiro, where we got the tram uphill to the Corcovado.

By the way, one single bus ticket costs 2,95R$ (approx. 1,0€).

We booked the tickets previously by Internet. Each ticket costed 48R$.

The tram took 25 min. to reach the top of  the hill, which stays at more than 700m above the sea level.

View of the Lagoon Rodrgies de Freitas and the sea at Ipanema Beach.

The sugar loaf is pretty much clear by such a propitious weather.

A pic from the front of the christh's statue and the crowd around it couldn't miss.

Outstanding views!
