𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐨𝐧 📍 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧⛰️
I cannot begin to tell you the immeasurable sense of freedom you would feel from being atop one of the most spectacular mountains in Rio De Janeiro 🇧🇷:
𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 ⛰️ - 𝐏ã𝐨 𝐝𝐞 𝐀çú𝐜𝐚𝐫
.
A cable car 🚠 ride up, you have about three floors to the top you can explore and take photos.
The view is just breathtaking. 🥰
Separating Rio De Janeiro from the Atlantic Ocean, this is probably the second biggest highlight of Rio, after Christ The Redeemer.
.
I felt such a rush of energy from being up there and just seeing the entire city from above. I think much of this has to do with the awe-inspiring magnitude of nature. There are so many instances in the world in which you can see nature in its greatest form, but I have to say few can beat that of a magnificent mountain view.

A few years ago, I traveled to Zamami Island. I was in a season of life where I was healing from some tough experiences. I needed softness and time to separate myself from the bad stuff and to soak in something new and wonderful.
The breathtaking landscape draws you in, but once I was in the village, I spent a few hours walking through the narrow streets and taking photos of all of the little things around me. Bicycles dotted the town, resting idly as their owners carried on with their daily routines. Clothes swayed gently in the warmth of the sun and the soft caress of the summer breeze. There was a slowness and quite througout the village that helped to ease my mind.
Okinawa was beautiful. And even though I went through some tough times there, the island seemed to want to take care of me. I would spend my free time on the beach with my two dogs, listening to the waves, snorkeling or paddle boarding, and swimming with a thousand colorful fishes.
Zamami is near Okinawa and part of the Kerama Islands. There are 36 islands that make up Kerama's island chain, but only four are inhabited. I was lucky enough to visit the Keremas twice while I lived in Okinawa. Once to Zamami and once to Aka. On both trips, I went with some of the people in my life I love most, my husband and a few dear friends. This series of photos is a mix of the landscape of Zamami and the details of the village that made me fall in love.
Reaching Zamami is an adventure in itself, with ferry boats departing from Naha Port and arriving at one of the four main islands before taking smaller boats to tour some of the other Kerama islands. I recommend the website I linked here to help plan your trip. Summer is a peak time to visit, but we always loved spring in Oki. It's just warm enough without being too hot and not too crowded yet.
