This World Heritage Site consists of an exceptional urban setting encompassing the key natural elements that have shaped and inspired the development of the city: from the highest points of the Tijuca National Park’s mountains down to the sea. They also include the Botanical Gardens, established in 1808, Corcovado Mountain with its celebrated statue of Christ, and the hills around Guanabara Bay, including the extensive designed landscapes along Copacabana Bay which have contributed to the outdoor living culture of this spectacular city.
While the waymark can be logged from anywhere within the city, the coordinates are set at Christ the Redeemer, from which one can view key features of this site, including Corcovado Mountain and the statue.
