Rio’s Christ the Redeemer took nine years to build (1922–1931), stands 30 meters tall on an 8-meter pedestal atop Corcovado mountain, and weighs 635 metric tons of soapstone and reinforced concrete. It’s one of the most recognized monuments on Earth — and it directly inspired an even taller one, closer to home: Bolivia’s own Cristo de la Concordia in Cochabamba.
✦ Modeled after Rio’s statue, Cochabamba’s Cristo stands 33.44 meters tall — 39.68 meters including its pedestal, taller than the original
✦ It was meant to be an even 33 meters, one for each year of Christ’s life, before 44 extra centimeters of hair pushed it past Rio’s height
✦ Its arms span 32.87 meters — one hand points north, the other south, over the city of Cochabamba
