A railed lookout on the Dona Marta hill, reached by car or tour van up through Parque da Cidade in Botafogo. It gives a wide view of the bay with Sugarloaf on one side and Christ above. Quietest early, before the vans arrive.

Pros
  • +Christ and Sugarloaf in one frame
  • +Easy van or car access
  • +Calm early morning
Cons
  • –Fills with tour vans midday
  • –Drone rules near the statue are tight
