Join us for an unforgettable journey as part of our New Seven Wonders Series, where children can virtually visit and learn about the awe-inspiring Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This monumental 30-meter tall statue of Jesus, with his outstretched arms spanning 28 meters, stands as a symbol of peace and marvel, rightfully earning its place among the world's most iconic landmarks.
In this exclusive session, children will embark on a detailed virtual tour of the Christ the Redeemer statue, uncovering a wealth of fascinating facts and historical insights. They will learn why England aided the Portuguese Prince in relocating to Brazil, and discover how Rio de Janeiro once became the capital of the entire Kingdom of Portugal.
The tour will also delve into the visionary minds behind the creation of this majestic statue, revealing who first proposed the idea of erecting a colossal Christ figure atop one of the city's highest mountains.
Through engaging storytelling and interactive elements, children will gain a deep appreciation for the cultural and historical significance of Christ the Redeemer and its status as a World Heritage Site. This immersive experience promises to educate, inspire, and leave a lasting impression on young learners.

Once you book this experience, we will send you a confirmation email with a link to join the session. Learners can log in from their individual classes or congregate in one single class/hall and access the tour via the link provided. Please note that this tour is conducted by a Christ the Redeemer expert based in Rio De Janerio using audio visual and virtual presentations, unlike most of our tours that involve a live relay from the site. This is because of the low internet bandwidth on top of the mountain, and also owing to the detailed nature of the presentation within a short period of time.
