Travel trivia: Where is Mount Corcovado?

Posted on January 4th, 2011 by Laura Byrne Paquet in Travel Trivia

A 100-foot statue of Christ sits atop Mount Corcovado, looking down on which major world city?

  • Buenos Aires
  • Mexico City
  • Rio de Janeiro
  • Santiago

Think you know the answer? Send it to me as a comment at the bottom of this post. At the end of the week, I’ll draw one name from all the people who answered correctly, and that person will receive this week’s prize: the Putumayo Presents Yoga CD, with 14 great world music tracks to enhance your yoga practice.

Come back tomorrow for another travel trivia question and another chance to win the Putumayo Presents Yoga CD! And if you can’t wait til then for your trivia fix, check out my husband Paul’s trivia site, TriviaHallOfFame.com.

This contest closes at 5:00pm EST on Friday, January 7, 2011.

The Flickr/Creative Commons photo above of the view from Mount Corcovado was taken by Phillie Casablanca (Phil Whitehouse).

Disclosure: The CD was provided by Putumayo World Music.
