In similar fashion to Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Light Christ (Cristo Luz in Portuguese) was built at one of the highest points of the city at 150 m. The statue is 33 m high, 22 m wide and weights 528 tons. The main feature of this attraction is that it is illuminated alternatively during the night with 7 colors (each one with a meaning) and it holds on his left shoulder a broad-brimmed hat, which irradiates a beam that illuminates the city. You will get charged depending whether you arrive during daytime (8 Reais) or after the sunset (R$16). Its complex contains a restaurant, a photo gallery and some shows. There are free shuttles that make the way up the hill.
