Corcovado, meaning “hunchback” in Portuguese, is a mountain in central Rio de Janeiro. The 2,330 ft granite peak is located in the Tijuca Forest, a national park. Corcovado hill lies just west of the city center but is wholly within the city limits and visible from great distances. It is known worldwide for the 125 ft statue of Jesus atop its peak, entitled Cristo Redentor or “Christ the Redeemer”.
