Dois Irmãos

Overview

Morro Dois Irmãos ( Two Brothers Mountain) is one of the most beautiful symbols of Rio de Janeiro. The mountain rises inside the South Zone, between Leblon and São Conrado beaches. The best place to see the majestic form of this mountain is from Ipanema, but Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas offer an impressive view of the mountain too. Close to beaches, buildings, shopping centers and streets, this mountain is surrounded by two poor communities called “favelas”. Vidigal and Rocinha surround the mountain by North, West and South sides, ruining the image. There are 2 mountains in one massif : Irmão Maior ( 533m ) and Irmão Menor ( 421m )
