    This may be the number one, the best view point in all of RioA you can compare by seeing some other photos here from other places too. You get to see a vsdt about of sea and mountain and if you are lucky the redeemer will appear from the clouds. Be careful reception is poor here so calling an uber can be extremely difficult and risky. Awesome awesome views!

    If you don't want to go to all the trouble of visiting the Christ the Redeemer, this is your next best solution. It's free and you get almost the same view. The downside is that there's not much else to do besides enjoying the view. Also, you should arrange a private means of transportation as getting there will cross some parts of the city that aren't considered very safe.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE. Better then Cristo, better than sugar loaf, and a top place in Rio de Janeiro! You can take Uber there or bus and it's very easy. The trip is safe and you should go for sunrise or sunset.

    Quite possibly the best viewpoints of sunrise over Rio that I have seen. Went up there with Uber. There's no public transport option so you'll either have to take an Uber down which would be difficult to find or one of those vans or walk down.

    I can not describe in words how beautiful this viewing point is. You can only get here if you're taking a taxi to christ the redeemer. If you take the train, you won't get to see this. You will get to see the city, if you're lucky you can even see the takeoff and landing of flights. It's worth visiting there

    Very nice view from here. Calculate 2 R$ for the parking.

    The views are impeccable for both sunrise and sunset. You can get there by Uber, however returning is a bit more challenging to get an Uber and you might walk until the end of the hill and then catch a bus station. It can get pretty crowded for sunrise during the weekend.

  • 5/5 Eugen F. 9 months ago on Google • 121 reviews
    Amazing views, best at sunrise but any time is probably good.

  • 5/5 Filipe P. 7 years ago on Google • 33 reviews
    Absolutely phenomenal views. We just happened to go by this place so I didn't have a nice camera but still managed to get great shots with my phone, especially in the panorama view. This is a great Panoramic Picture spot. There's a good size parking lot leading up to it and if you're lucky, you might see some monkeys as you walk up to the view point.

  • 5/5 Alex 6 years ago on Google
    This place was beautiful and way less people than the christ or pedra do telegrafo. So if you want some of the best views with little to no people, go here! This place had less trash than any other look out we went to. It was beautiful, and you can pretty much drive right up to it! View was great, people were great. Don’t get over charged by the locals.

  • 5/5 De Wet W. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best views of Rio. If you visit while using the services of the Corcovado-(to Christ)-operator that takes you up to the statue from R. das Laranjeiras (after exiting the metro at Largo da Machado), this is included in your R$30 fare.

  • 5/5 Dipanjan D. 2 years ago on Google
    The views are awesome, and one should definitely visit this viewpoint.Tell your taxi driver to wait, as that's the most convenient way back down. Round trip from Botafogo, with about 30 minutes wait should be about 50-60 BRL

  • 5/5 Mr. S. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply beautiful! You can see the whole city of Rio (and Niterói) from a high altitude. The view is breathtaking, so your pictures will look amazing. From the (sort of) Belvedere, you’ll enjoy a privileged sight of the Corcovado - with its emblematic Christ the Redeemer - Sugar Loaf, Urca Neighborhood, Pier Gloria, Rodrigo de Freitas Lake, Guanabara Bay… HOWEVER, mind the time you arrive there. Theoretically, they’ll let you go up the very narrow street that leads to the top of the mountain until 5 pm. But you have to stay there to watch the sunset. It’s difficult to get an Uber from there, though, but eventually a driver will accept the ride. There are taxi drivers there just in case. Just remember to ask how much it will cost you for the driver to take you wherever before you enter the cab. It’s one of those visits you can’t miss, but you’ve got to plan how to get up and how to go down. I’ve noticed that most people drive their own cars there or they’ll be riding a rental.

    I came because Natiruts played at this place and even though the stage is gone and it was cloudy the place is surrounded by a beautiful forest and wildlife. The mirante has a great views of Cristo Corcovado and a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro. Tip: Don't go too late (After 4PM) if you planning to take an Uber ride back to the city.

    It wasn’t busy when we went there so we could walk around and enjoy all the wonderful views of the city and also followed a few planes making a u turn towards the airport to land. Good views of the “Christ”

  • 5/5 A L. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome photo spot, particularly at sunset. Can take a while to get a Uber back down after the sun is down.

    Stunning view of Rio from here, very similar to what you see from the Christ Redeemer, just a bit lower. Well worth the trip up there.

  • 3/5 Anastasiya N. 2 years ago on Google

    Incredible views but very busy with groups (who are super annoying and expect to be able to do full photo shoots for wannabe Instagrammers). The view from the helipad is pretty spectacular too. Got an Uber there, quite easy.

  • 5/5 Eduardo R. 6 months ago on Google

    Great location to see Rio high above. Be careful the location is on the street with same name, there was an incorrect location before (hope my edit is accepted), which sends you right into a favela, which we did...

  • 5/5 KTMax 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice lookout from where you get a very good look up at Christ the Redeemer and down at Rio's buzzing streets.

  • 5/5 Aaron G. 5 years ago on Google
    Great views over the city and Christ the redeemer. We took the shuttle bus from the tram station and it stopped at the look out spots on the way up.

  • 4/5 Cezar R. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place in the heights of Rio to see all the city. You can spot the Maracanã Stadium, the runaways of the S.Dummont airport and the beautiful Bay. Try to go when the weather is fine.

  • 5/5 Jonathan M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jeannine K. 5 years ago on Google
    Great Alternative to Corcovado. It's free and less crowded and offers great views.

  • 5/5 Vance T. 5 years ago on Google
    It is a nice place to stop and look out to take some pictures. However, the only pic that you will get at this lookout that you don't get at the top of Corcovado is of the Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) statue from afar. Other than that you can take the same, if not better, pics from atop the Corcovado.

  • 5/5 Lucas V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a small viewpoint but it allows you to have a view as beautiful as the one from Corcovado - even with fewer clouds. TIP: use uber to get to and from the place. The VAN / Trucks that exist, charge per person. (Original) Es un mirador pequeño pero que permite tener una visual tan linda como la de que hay desde el Corcovado - incluso con menos nubes. CONSEJO: usar uber para llegar e irse del lugar. Las VAN/Camionetas que hay, cobran por persona.
