You'll be able to see the whole shore, ships on the horizon, waves being formed, people like ants and paragliders flying around!
The belvedere was projected by the famous Oscar Niemeyer Architect, and inaugurated in 2002 due to 500th year of Brazil's "Discovery". It purely makes this place even more special!
