Cristo Redentor

Cristo Redentor, Religious sculpture in Tihuatlán Municipality, Mexico.

Cristo Redentor is a 31.5-metre monument of steel and concrete on a viewpoint about 100 metres above Tihuatlán, east of town on Vicente Guerrero road. The figure itself rises roughly 22 metres, with an arm span of 20.5 metres, and a chapel sits in its base. It was modelled on the Christ of Rio de Janeiro.

Planned from 2006 by the Papantla-born artist Teodoro Cano García (born 1932) with a team including Lorenzo Rivera, Martha Guerrero and Jesús Alberto Hernández, the steel-and-concrete monument was inaugurated on 3 November 2007 after about eighteen months of construction.

Tihuatlán is known as "la ciudad de las esculturas" for the several sculptures placed around it, and this Christ figure is the largest of them. The statue was modelled on Rio de Janeiro's Cristo Redentor, and its base holds a chapel that makes the overlook a pilgrimage site visited by thousands of tourists each year.

The site is easily reached from nearby Poza Rica, where lodging and transportation options are available. The climb to the hilltop is moderate and the views of the surrounding area are worth the effort.

The monument is made of steel and concrete, not carved stone, and its arm span is 20.5 metres. It was designed from 2006 by the Papantla artist Teodoro Cano García with a team including Lorenzo Rivera, Martha Guerrero and Guillermo Tena. A chapel sits inside the base.
