the views from morro da babilônia go well beyond just the gorgeous landscapes - in fact, due to the position of the hill, and the trails leading to the summit, this mirante lets visitors peek into history as much as into nature.

there are beautiful sceneries to be enjoyed throughout the trip up the mountain, however the true and unforgettable reward comes once the very top is reached - from there the views include the statue of christ on corcovado, botafogo bay, flamengo beach, urca, praia vermelha, and the sugar loaf, all at once - the views that morro da babilônia commands over the corcovado mountain are particularly stunning - every inch of the 30-meter tall statue of christ on it can be seen in all its glory from quite a distance.
