Corcovado
Less than 2 hours from the Club Med Rio das Pedras resort, Corcovado stands as Brazil's answer to the Statue of Liberty. Rising 710m high, this iconic peak welcomes the legendary Christ the Redeemer statue. Designed by Brazilian Heitor da Silva Costa and sculpted by Frenchman Paul Landowski, it opened in 1931. Reach the summit through Tijuca Forest or take the cog train. The view is simply breathtaking.
