Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

História e lenda...

Oct 2014 • Family

Esta formação rochosa é tombada como monumento natural de Niterói. Ela é o ponto de divisão entre as praias de Icaraí e das Flexas ( com "x" mesmo), respectivamente localizadas nos bairros Icaraí e Ingá.
Em tupi guarani, Itapuca significa “pedra furada” ou “pedra que ri”.
A lenda que cerca a Pedra de Itapuca narra que o amor proibido entre o guerreiro Cauby e a índia Jurema, que resultou na morte de ambos, fez com que Tupã eternizasse esse amor, transportando o casal para o interior da pedra onde permanecem juntos até os dias de hoje.
Com a construção do MAC, a Pedra de Itapuca revitalizou seu destaque, sendo sempre procurada pelos fotógrafos para ser enquadrada na imagem junto ao Museu.
Seria esta uma referência artística ao amor de Cauby e Jurema? Só Tupã saberá responder...

Antigo símbolo de Niterói

Apr 2015 • Solo

Antes do MAC, a Pedra de Itapuca era o símbolo da cidade. Repare em sua formação rochosa. Cuidado ao descer para pedra, pois às vezes a água da Praia de Icaraí não está própria para banho. Em dias de ondas bravas, surfistas ficam próximos.

A Foto é da Pedra do Índio

May 2013

È tradicional em Niterói, mas não tem nada demais. Antes de ser implodia na primeira metade do século XX era um túnel. Diz a lenda que ali morreu um casal de indígenas que pertenciam a tribos inimigas, mas que se apaixonaram. Devia ter alguma coisa informando mais a respeito.

Surfe

May 2012 • Family

A Pedra de Itapuca está localizada entre a Praia de Icaraí e a Praia das Flexas. Área muito procurada por surfistas, pelo fundo de pedra que proporciona boas ondas para a prática do esporte. Além da prática do esporte poder ser executada à noite em função da iluminação proporcionada pela estrada que passa ao lado.

Uma pedra comum

Aug 2012 • Friends

É apenas uma pedra que fica localizada no começo da praia de Icaraí e não tem atrativo turístico nenhum, além do agravante de ter marisqueiros cozinhando mariscos em latas sujas com fogo improvisado com madeira, proporcionando uma grande poluição visual.

Ondas perfeitas!

June 2013 • Family

Local certo para encontros dos surfistas em dia de ressaca. Apesar de ser praia da Baía de Guanabara, possuia ondas perfeitas.

Visual Maravilhoso

Dec 2012

A contemplação da Praia de Icaraí tendo a Pedra de Itapuca em primeiro plano oferece momentos muito agradáveis aos olhos. A sombra das amendoeiras e a brisa do mar completam a experiência.

QUINTAL DE CASA

Aug 2018 • Family

É onde pego as ondas melhores da minha vida e olha que já viajei para vários lugares, mas por si tratar de um local com fundo de pedras se torna um paraíso para nós surfistas. além da história do local e de Niterói.
Com uma beleza impar, onde pode servir de fundo de uma bela foto.
