Christ the Redeemer of the Andes
Christ the Redeemer of the Andes, Peace monument at La Cumbre Pass, Argentina.
The bronze statue stands at an elevation of 3,832 meters on the Argentina-Chile border, featuring Christ holding a cross against the Andes backdrop.
The monument was inaugurated on March 13, 1904, with 3,000 people from both nations gathering to celebrate the resolution of border disputes.
The inscription at the base declares that the mountains will turn to dust before Argentinians and Chileans break their peace commitment.
Access to the monument requires a 9-kilometer drive from Las Cuevas village and is only possible during summer months due to weather conditions.
The statue underwent repairs in 1993, including the restoration of its cross, which had deteriorated due to extreme mountain temperatures reaching -30°C.
