 A great lover of the seaside, Rios often drew while looking at the sea at El Quisco on the Chilean Central Coast.A statue of Condorito now stands at the location.In 2000, an effort led by Omar Pérez Santiago (a scholar of Chilean cartooning and a co-founder of the academic Chilean Center for Comics) resulted in a sculpture of Condorito memorializing Rios being installed in the Chilean House of Culture in San Miguel.
