at a glance

considered the 'favela chic' of rio, these days vidigal is a peaceful neighborhood, and many visitors choose to explore the favela and have a cold beverage at one of the local bars after their descent.

taxis are available for those who wish to experience the dois irmãos without walking through vidigal, however, the peak can only be reached by hiking. as a bastion of natural beauty and cultural significance, morro dois irmãos occupies a unique position in the rio de janeiro skyline. 

the opportunity to see rio from afar, at the apex of the hill and then up-close at the bottom is unique and should not be missed.   the iconic double crests of the 'two brothers' are unmistakable, and the view from the top reveals the mountains, monuments, beaches and bars that are treasured by visitors and cariocas alike.
