Cristo de la Concordia

Cristo de la Concordia is the largest Jesus statue in the world, coming second is O Cristo Redentor, located in Rio de Janerio, Brazil. Cristo de la Concordia was modeled on Cristo redentor, hence their similarity in appearance. Architects Cesar and Walter Terrazas Pardo are behind its creation from 12 July 1987 to 20 November 1994.  It stands on San Pedro hill in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Like its predecessor, it has its arms stretched out with its face looking a little bit to the yonder sky. Its 40.44 meters high with a total mass of 2200 tons, being made of steel and concrete. Cristo de la Concordia is recent and has not made much impact on the history books. It has been designed to call people back to God…

Both the Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) statue in Rio de Janeiro and this in Bolivia are 33m (108 ft.) tall, because Christ died when he was 33 years old. Cochabambinos say the extra height is appropriate, since Christ actually lived “33 years and a bit.”

You can either ride a cable car or climb the 2,000 stairs to the top. Either method rewards visitors with fine views of the valley of Cochabamba and Tunari, the highest peaks in the area. On Sunday, you can climb to the top of the statue itself for even better views.
