The Christ sculpture is two meters tall and weighs about 200 kilograms. The damming of the Rio Grande by the Jaguara power plant flooded houses, brickworks, iron structures and bridges of old Rifaina, which can now be seen on dives. Farms, the Rifaina Station and other landmarks of the old town also ended up underwater.
In the Jaguara reservoir, where the remains of the old town lie, groups of mandi, tucunaré, tilápia and traíra can be seen. In the region, the diving season usually runs from May to the end of November.
