Pedra Bonita is a 696-meter-high granite and gneiss monolith in Tijuca National Park, between São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca. The easy 1.5-kilometer trail starts from Estrada das Canoas, with a 40-60 minute climb through the Atlantic Forest. It offers panoramic views of Pedra da Gávea, the beaches of the South and West Zones, Morro Dois Irmãos, and a paragliding launch ramp.
