the rock also offers some stunning vistas of the leme end of copacabana beach so, after soaking up the panoramas from pedra de arpoador, visitors can venture across for more photo opportunities. having reached the hill's summit, visitors are able to see leblon and the landmark pão de açúcar (sugar loaf mountain), which rises 396 meters above the harbor.    

the view out to sea is also brilliant, and it really is a special sight watching the sun sneak beyond the horizontal line of the ocean before vanishing until the following dawn, when it reappears in the east to crown a new day.
