the nearby area of urcacan also be viewed from up high - it is a brilliant site from morro do pasmado, not only because sugar loaf and the bondinho can be seen, but also because the district has managed to maintain a truly pleasant architecture.

akin to santa teresa, the area maintains a tranquility in contrast to the busy streets and avenues of the city. clearly visible from the mirante, urcais divided up into many small lots, many of which were sold to small investors.
