Know before you go

• Guaratiba Hill served as a strategic observation point for Brazil during World War II and III. Soldiers could see German submarines moving from there and protect Brazilian vessels from possible U-boat attacks. All the information was collected using radio communication, and a generator system was used. Therefore, this site is named Pedra do Telégrafo.
