A imagem da estátua do Cristo Redentor no alto do morro do Corcovado, abrindo os braços para a baía da Guanabara,
habita o imaginário de viajantes de todo o mundo.
Although this is a tourism magazine, this turn of phrase sounds a bit literary, hence my classification. I already have a solution, but I thought I'd run it by you guys.

: 'inhabits' is a too literal a translation for me and is not an English idiom I am familiar with.

populate: inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of; "People lived in Africa millions of years ago"; "The people inhabited the islands that are now ...inhabit - be present in; "sweet memories inhabit this house" all you need to do is google it and know it

: I much prefer 'dwells' to 'inhabits'. Though it does suggest the more clichéd expression (which is a possibility) of 'dwells in the minds...'
