Unfortunately for slower climbers, Wi-Fi may not be pleasant, as passwords that entitle you to 72 hours of access will be distributed in order not to become a mess. With this novelty, the city halls of the two cities intend to attract more foreign climbers and tourists, since the free publicity of the place will increase considerably, through photos taken by tourists on the spot. It is estimated that last year about  40.000 to 50.000 tourists passed through there.

Now just take a plane to Japan and hope to find the Ultraman, jaspion ou Godzilla there to take a selfie, remembering that the latter is very dangerous.
