You can stand on top of or hang from a large, sharp rock, which isn’t actually very far off the ground, your camera angle can make it appear like you’re a daredevil about to fall down the mountainside. The best selfie ever! On the way back we will drive by Grumari, Prainha, Macumba and Recreio dos Bandeirantes beaches.
