Morro do Sumaré, Summit in Tijuca National Park, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Morro do Sumaré rises approximately 2,297 feet (700 meters) above sea level within Tijuca National Park and offers extensive views of Rio de Janeiro's cityscape and natural surroundings.
The summit has served as a strategic communications site for decades, hosting numerous radio and television transmission antennas that facilitate broadcast services throughout Rio de Janeiro.
The hill is a recognizable landmark visible from multiple points across Rio de Janeiro and is frequently featured in photographs and postcards of the city's natural landscape.
Access to the summit is restricted to protect telecommunications infrastructure and preserve the forest environment, though nearby trails in Tijuca National Park remain open to visitors.
Recent conservation initiatives have focused on removing telecommunication towers from the summit to reduce environmental impact and protect the Atlantic Forest biodiversity found in this protected area.
