Corcovado which means 'hunchback' in Portuguese, is a mountain in central Rio de Janeiro. It is a 710-metre granite peak 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. The most popular attraction of Corcovado mountain is the statue and viewing platform at its peak. The Corcovado is also a symbol of the Brazilian culture.
