Osama’s House
Visit a secret place in Macaé where few go. A human sculpture that no one knows if it was intentional or created by nature. The dark Osama House as the locals call it. A house suspended in the air like a Salvador Dali sculpture looks more like a living animal with mud legs than real human construction.
You need to walk for 10-15 minutes on a mud road behind a post outside the Ajuda de Cima neighborhood, but it is not easy to find your way, the best way is to use the link on Orbis . In the app you can click on the name of the place and see how to get there.
