there was once a time when whales were a common sight in rio de janeiro. this era is over, but the cultural influence it left behind is still very much in place, especially at pedra de arpoador. in fact, pedra do arpoador holds a special place in cariocas' hearts, also due to the many concerts taking place here, and this rock being one of the best mirantes in rio. pedra do arpoador (rock of the harpoon-thrower) is much that what the name suggests. perfectly located, marking the border between rio de janeiro's most famous neighborhoods, is pedra do arpoador - known for offering visitors a range of activities, as well as some of the most famous views in the city, pedra do arpoador is an understated, yet unforgettable experience.
