Located right on the beach side of Rio de Janeiro, the Dois Irmãos Hill (Two Brothers) is known for having one of the most magnificent views of the city. From the top of hill called “big brother”, it is possible to see various famous sites, such as Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, Leblon, Copacabana, and Arpoador. The 1.5 km hiking trail that leads to the summit begins at the Vidigal Favela, which lies on the hill’s lower part. The favela, named after one of the city’s most influential men in the 19th century, continues to expand after 200 years from its creation. Due to the warm reception of the community and the increase in security since the implantation of the Pacifying Police Unit (UPP) in 2012, the Vidigal has become one of the main attractions of Rio de Janeiro, visited by both locals and tourists.
