included in this incredible view are the christ on corcovado, pedra bonita, the beaches of são conrado, ipanema, leblon, lagoa de freitas, lagoa da tijuca, lagoa de marapendi, niterói, barra da tijuca, and the tijuca forest - which is why it is considered by some, as the best view in the entire city.

on a clear day the other major peaks of rio de janeiro, like corcovado, pão de açúcar, morro dois irmãos, and pico da tijuca can also be seen with amazing detail.

we highly recommend all hikers to enjoy rio's mountain trails accompanied by an experienced and certified hiking guide.
