Morro Dois Irmãos, Twin-peaked mountain in Vidigal, Brazil
The granite mountain formation rises 533 meters above sea level, featuring two distinct peaks that stand between São Conrado and Leblon neighborhoods.
The surrounding terrain transformed from grazing lands in the 15th century to sugarcane fields in the 19th century before urbanization began in the 1930s.
The Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional designated this natural formation as a protected heritage site on April 5, 1990.
The hiking trail extends 1.5 kilometers through Atlantic forest, requiring approximately 40 minutes to reach the summit from the Vidigal neighborhood base.
The summit provides views of Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana beaches, Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon, Christ the Redeemer statue, and Rocinha community.

Rio de Janeiro is more than a city; it is a living backdrop. Between mountains and sea, the Brazilian metropolis showcases its most famous landscapes: Christ the Redeemer overlooking Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf shining in the sun, Ipanema and Copacabana beaches where music and sand never sleep. But Rio is not just postcards. In the streets of Santa Teresa, colorful azulejos climb the Selarón stairs, museums reinvent the modern city, parks hide tropical forests, and lookouts reveal stunning panoramas. From samba to nature, from colonial heritage to futuristic architecture, each neighborhood tells a different face of Rio. Here are the must-visit places to experience its energy, beauty, and the unique joie de vivre.
