Comment: On the drive up to Petrópolis we stop at an overlook point, Mirante do Cristo. You see the altitude in this photograph. The city of Petrópolis is only another 53 meters higher. (The statue of Christ you will see on the next page is not the famous giant Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado that overlooks Rio de Janeiro. For the Corcovado Cristo, see the Rio pages.)
