It is the largest monolith in South America, as well as the highest coastal monolith in the world and is perfect for an adventurous hike. According to some local legends the Pedra da Gávea is a visiting place for extra-terrestrials as well as being a portal to other dimensions. The trail begins in Barra da Tijuca and passes through the Atlantic Rain Forest. Hikers will need to keep their eyes peeled for small mammals and birds which inhabit the tree tops.

About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro schwingt sich zwischen Berge und Ozean: berühmte Strände, Granitgipfel, Sambarhythmen und ein weltbekannter Karneval.

Christus der Erlöser steht mit ausgebreiteten Armen auf dem Corcovado und blickt auf die Stadt hinab, und Seilbahnen fahren auf den Zuckerhut für Ausblicke über die Guanabara-Bucht. Darunter sind die Strände von Copacabana und Ipanema die Bühne des Alltags, mit Volleyball, Kiosken und der wellenförmig gemusterten Promenade, während Leblon und Arpoador den Streifen fortsetzen.

Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
