Corcovado is the mountain on top of which the statue of Christ Redeemer stands.

Specifically, the statue tops the 700-meter (2,300-foot) mountain that overlooks the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. The Portuguese equivalent of "Christ Redeemer" is "CristoRedentor". The pronunciation is "KREE-shtoo hee-dehn-TOH" according to the Carioca accent of Rio de Janeiro.

The name of the mountain means "hunchback." The Portuguese word is a masculine noun. Its singular definite article is "o" ("the"). The pronunciation is "KOHR-koo-VAH-doo."
