Tips
The statue "Cristo Rei do Garajau" or "Coração de Cristo" is located at the lookout point "Ponta do Garajau", which offers a very nice view. This statue was built in honor of the "Sacred Heart" Christ.
This work of the French sculptor George Serraz, is a statue of Christ, which extends his open arms to the ocean.translated by

The model here was the Christ statue in Lisbon, the one in Rio was built later... only larger. In the past, the dead were transported past here and thrown into the sea at the end of the path.

It's not far from the free gravel parking lot until you see the 15m high statue. Be sure to continue down the path to the end, it's worth it.
