Extremely unsafe place to visit yet with a superb view..! Don't go alone nor in smaller groups..! Don't go there with jewelry nor anything expensive... being more straightforward, if you have to go there take only the things you can afford to leave behind, lose it or get it robbed from you... sorry for being so blatant..! I'm born & bread in Rio; former tour guide for major jewelry stores throughout the summers, know my ways around town and would like to help keep you safe and out of trouble...

Easy hike from Parque da Cidade. Usually safe to visit, but remember, this is Rio.
