43)View of the Corcovado (left), the Botafogo district and the Pão de Açúcar from the Tijuca Park above the Jardim Botânico. To commemorate the 100 years of Brazilian independence, plans were made to erect a statue of Christ to overlook Rio de Janeiro. However, it was not completed until October 12, 1931. The site selected was the Corcovado peak which rises 704 meters above the city. To reach the summit, one can drive up through the Tijuca Park or take the cobble train from the Cosme Velho station near the Laranjeiras district.43) Corcovado (à esquerda), bairro Botafogo e Pão de Açúcar, vistos do Parque da Tijuca, acima do Jardim Botânico.
