This spot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is known for offering one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the region, providing a panoramic view of the surrounding beaches and islands. Imagine watching the sunset from this vantage point, where the sky meets the sea in a spectacle of colours. To access the famous Prainhas do Pontal beach, you have to go down an iconic staircase with more than 250 steps—the view as you descend is as impressive as the beach itself, with transparent waters and white sands that justify the nickname "Brazilian Caribbean."
