Vidigal overlooks Ipanema Beach (Template:Langx) and Ilhas Cagarras. It is located in the South Zone of Rio, between Leblon and São Conrado neighborhoods.

Morro Dois Irmãos

The Vidigal favela is located at the base of Script error: No such module "Lang". ("Two Brothers Hill"), which inspired a song by Chico Buarque.[1]

Presidente João Goulart. In 2020, there were battles between the military police and drug traffickers with fatalities.[5][6][7][8] Vidigal is considered safe for both locals and tourists. It is a vibrant sports, culture, and family community with a daily flux of tourists coming in from all over Brazil and the world at all hours of the day.
