there are many more peaks inside the park, offering numerous different attractions and activities, and all with an intoxicating selection of natural wildlife and vegetation. one of the most famous examples being the morro do corcovado (hunchback mountain). it is the most recognizable summit in the world, though many may not know its name.

it is located in tijuca national park, just west of botafogo and laranjeiras in the heart of rio de janeiro - but what really sets it apart is the 100 foot high statue of cristo redentor (christ the redeemer) with outstretched arms situated on its peak, whose image has become synonymous with rio de janeiro and brazil as a whole.

published by the instituto municipal de urbanismo pereira passos, with the prefecture of the city of rio de janeiro, this map shows the maciço da tijuca.
