Countries are portrayed in brochures as absolute paradise, and the images are so astounding that you simply cannot believe what you are seeing. But occasionally the countryside in fairy tales is uninteresting. We don’t want to make you feel bad before your well-deserved vacation; instead, we just want to dispel some myths about well-known locations so you can be better prepared. We have chosen to portray some well-known tourist sights as they actually are.
Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro
The pedestal of the Statue of Liberty is not even bigger than the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. The pedestal and basement of the Statue of Liberty are 153 feet high; however, the height of the statue in Brazil is just 125 feet. The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall at its tallest point.
