Morro do Borel, Summit in Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The peak rises above Rio de Janeiro's northern zone, offering views of the city and surrounding mountains from its elevation point.
French brothers from the Borel family owned this land in the early 1900s, using it as a coffee plantation before urban development.
The Unidos da Tijuca samba school established its first headquarters at the base of this mountain in 1931, marking a significant local tradition.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the main access point located near the Tijuca neighborhood transportation hub.
The mountain's geography creates specific wind patterns that influence the local microclimate, affecting vegetation growth on different sides of the peak.
