morro do corcovado (hunchback mountain) is located in io de janeiro's tijuca rainforest and stands at 710 meters tall. it is somewhat similar to sugar loaf

 mountain (pão de açúcar) but sets itself apart due to the world famous christ the redeemer (cristo redentor) residing atop of its granite peak.

christ the redeemer on corcovado overlooks rio de janeiro and its many districts, all of which have various differing characteristics. standing at 30 meters tall, from head to toe, the statue is a commanding presence and an iconic fixture of the city's landscape.
