Hi, I live in Brazil and I went to the “Pedra da Gávea”, The biggest monolith on a coastline of the world: 842 mt (2,769 ft) of granite above the sea level, in Tijuca Forest, Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. becoming one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the city.

A amazing place, surrounded by legends.

One legend goes that, in ancient times, the Pedra da Gávea was visited by Phoenicians who carved a face with an inscription and chose the mountain as a sacred place. Phoenician sphinx?

This was the most beautiful place I’ve ever been in Brazil, and I shared it in google maps.
