The Christ statue was really pretty awesome, probably one of the biggest in the world. I won't go into it too much, wikipedia probably will give one all the most accurate info.

Tijuana Rain Forest is very interesting since its right smack in the middle of the urban city. Many people might not know that the forest is really only about 160 years old as the monarch and nobles before that actually destroyed the entire rainforest, with rebuilding effort only 160 years ago.
It is quite unbelievable the number of people who cycles up the rainforest mountain ... RESPECT ... they do this on their day off work ... duh ...
If you look closely, supposedly, the "small tree" that wraps around the big rainforest tree will one day kill the big tree and takes it place ... its called parasite tree ...
Kite Surfing at Ipanema Beach ... this area has the highest per-square-foot price in Rio.
Last but not least, THE SIGHT to visit is the Sugar Loaf Mountain ... to be honest, the mountain itself isn't that spectacular at only 1,200 feet, but the views up there is great. For facts:

So we took two cable cars to reach the peak of Sugar Load Mountain ... look at MY HEROES ... these guys mountain climbed up Sugar Loaf Mountain ... NO JOKE! It is the largest urban climbing area in the world I heard ... it is quite amazing when you are at the bottom of mountain, looking at all these tiny "ants" climbing up the mountain. There's no pro shop or anything, anyone with gears can climb the mountain ...
