Rio de
Janeiro is located in a very mountainous area
and there
are many trails to discover.
Pico Da Tijuca, located in an urban forest,
Floresta
da Tijuca, has an easy access.
The Mata Atlântica is a protected area,
full of
monkeys, frogs, birds and butterflies,
In Corcovado the trek to the top will lead you
to the gigantic statue of Christ, the Redeemer,
One of the
New Seven Wonders of the World.
From up
there you may see the entire city.
Sugarloaf is another great hike,
and tourists and locals love the experience.
Made of
granite and quartz, from there you will see Guanabara Bay,
with beautiful views of land, sea, forest and
hills.
Pedra da Gavea resembles a sleeping giant.
Here,
trekkers can hike up a massive
"nose" while wondering
how such an odd shape could have been
created
by nature.
There are
also cryptic carvings and ancient inscriptions
that make the site even more
mysterious.
For an interesting mountain view,
check out Two Brothers.
While you can't climb this unique natural
formation,
the two Siamese mountain twins
make for a great photo, especially when viewed
during a sunset from Ipanema Beach.
