Trails: Dois Irmãos - Rio de Janeiro/Brazil

Hi, steemians!

Seen from the beach, Morro Dois Irmãos is one of the postcards of Rio de Janeiro. What you see from it, after a trail that starts from Vidigal, is a must-see photograph of the beauty of the city. From the first viewpoint, Rocinha, the largest favela in Latin America, is seen from above, and one has a great view of the Pedra da Gávea.

The trail begins by crossing a recent reforestation site with some larger trees. After about 10 minutes of light ascent, you arrive at the original vegetation. In some stretches of the ascent the terrain is clayey and others have shrubs that leave the trail more closed. The final stretch has exposure to the sun.
