Gavea Rock Rio de Janeiro

Filed under: Brazil General - January 8th, 2005

In this picture you can Gavea Rock, which is located in Rio de Janeiro between Sao Conrado and Barra da Tijuca neighborhoods. It is a very popular attraction for hikers, or anyone who enjoys a great view. The most fascinating thing about this rock is that people believe there is a face carved into it, like a South American Sphinx. Some believe it to be false, but others think that it may be an ancient burial tomb for one of the Phoencians kings.
