26 Most Breathtaking Views on Earth
| May 25, 2015
Corcovado Mountain, Brazil
The statue of Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) marks the spot of one of the most beautiful panorama views in all of South America. Standing at 38 meters high, the statue of Jesus that was raised in 1931 has been the most enduring symbol of Brazil since its construction. The viewing platform beneath the statue is accessible by elevator or stairs, and on a sunny day travelers can see as far as downtown Rio de Janeiro, as well as nearby mountains and beaches.
