Nestled away off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is Pedra do Telégrafo, which is portugese for Telegraph Stone, which is one of the most popular photo opps in South America.
This particular hanging rock over a cliff, is constantly flooded by tourists who wait in line to take pictures while hanging off the stones edge.
But the cliff isn't actually a cliff at all, in truth, the rock is about 2m above the ground, even if you fall, nothing serious will happen.
But when a photo is taken from the just right angle, cropping out the rocky ground below, it can fool people into thinking, that the people in the photo took a great risk just to get that shot.
Pedra do Telegrafo is atop a 354mtr hill and can take about an hour to hike up to the rock, which is located in Pedra Branca State Park in Rio, which is about an hour’s drive west from the tourist area of Rio de Janeiro.
►How to Get to Pedra do Telegrafo, Brazil (Rio de Janeiro)
To get there, you can take a bus to Barra de Guaratiba, walk a distance to a rather inaccessible area, find your way through a run-down neighbourhood, getting frustrated with the lack of English speakers, hike up the hill, to find a long queue already formed (it was reported that the queue can get up to 6 hours long).
1. From your neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro, take a bus to Terminal Alvorada.
2. Find a blue express bus to Malto Alto station.
3. Take the local bus 867 towards Barra de Guaratiba.
4. Alight at Barra de Guaratiba and walk towards the yellow church.
5. Take the stairs besides the church to an alleyway.
6. The alleyway is the start of your hike.
7. Follow the yellow painted footprints.
8. Take your highly sought-after, extremely deceiving shots!
Thanks for watching.
