looking west from the rock, visitors are treated to spectacular views of ipanema and leblon beaches, whilst the impressive morro dois irmãos and pedra da gávea stand proud in the distance.

to the east, an equally stunning view is on offer, which includes, the fort of copacabana and copacabana beach, the leme neighborhood, and the iconic sugar loaf mountain in the distance.

protruding out from the beach, the rocks give visitors prime sights of the ocean, and surrounding cagarras islands as well.
