In evidenza

On the western zone of Rio de Janeiro an imposing plateau of rock called Pedra da Gávea(The Gávea Stone). 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. The trail culminates at the summit of Pedra da Gávea, 844 meters above sea level, with the best views in Rio de Janeiro. From the top of Pedra da Gávea there are breath taking views of all of Rio’s beaches, lagoons, Sugar Loaf and overlooking Christ the Redeemer in the distance.

About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro si distende tra montagne e oceano: spiagge famose, vette di granito, ritmi di samba e un carnevale noto in tutto il mondo.

Il Cristo Redentore si erge con le braccia aperte in cima al Corcovado, guardando la città dall'alto, e le funivie salgono al Pan di Zucchero per viste sulla baia di Guanabara. In basso, le spiagge di Copacabana e Ipanema sono il palcoscenico della vita quotidiana, con pallavolo, chioschi e il lungomare a onde, mentre Leblon e Arpoador prolungano la fascia.

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