Vidigal.

The hillside with Rio's biggest view.

About the area

Climbing the flank of Morro Dois Irmãos between Leblon and São Conrado — now full of pousadas, artists and the view-buyers who found it.

Vidigal climbs the side of Morro Dois Irmãos, hung between Leblon and São Conrado on Avenida Niemeyer. The whole neighborhood is about one thing: the view — Leblon and Ipanema below, the open Atlantic, and the Dois Irmãos peak right overhead.

It went from overlooked to sought-after in a decade. Boutique pousadas, hillside bars, and a small number of architect-built houses and penthouses now sit on slopes with views that beat anything on the beachfront. We work the view-line properties here.

Vidigal outlined.

Car or moto-taxi up Avenida Niemeyer; the climb is steep. Leblon beach and its shops are a 10-minute drive down the hill, and the Morro Dois Irmãos trailhead starts inside the neighborhood.

Points of interest.

Who lives here. An unusual mix for Rio — long-time community families alongside artists, foreigners and designers who came for the view and stayed. The scene is younger and more bohemian than the beach neighborhoods below.
