Cristo del Pacífico

Cristo del Pacífico, "the Christ of the Pacific", is a 37-metre-high (121 ft) statue of Jesus erected in Lima, Peru, in 2011. Its erection was a gift from a consortium of Brazilian companies to the city of Lima, under former President Alan García, and described as a parting gift to the nation on occasion of his leaving office after the 2011 presidential election. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.

gollark: Guessing here: are the IDs sequential or something? Can you edit tweets?
gollark: Things do affect you. You can't really know if they will or not if you entirely ignore them.
