Mirante do Amor, also called Mirante do Macacu, sits by the GRP-401 road and has one of the fullest views of Siriú: Lagoa do Macacu, the Siriú Dunes, Siriú Beach, the river and, on the horizon, Ilha do Coral, in a panorama whose colors change through the day. Couples traditionally leave a padlock there.
