Daredevil Julianna Oliveira shared a snap of her seeming to stare death in the face while taking in the jaw-dropping views Rio de Janeiro has to offer.<\/p>\n
The young traveller hiked her way up the Pedra da G\u00e1vea mountain which towers nearly 3,000ft above the vibrant blue South Atlantic ocean.<\/p>\n
Brazenly sunbathing on the precipice of the cliff, it looks like Julianna could be risking it all for the sake of an impressive photo to show her friends.<\/p>\n
***\u00a0This photo of a man hanging off a cliff is not what you think it is ***<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But we think there\u2019s something fishy going on and she\u2019s not as courageous as she looks.<\/p>\n
Other \u201cbrave\u201d tourists who\u2019ve visited the area in Brazil have been caught out for faking their vertigo-inducing stunts.<\/p>\n
The beautiful backdrop looks suspiciously similar to the place where hundreds of tourists flock to and take trick photos where they appear to be hanging off the edge of a cliff but in fact they\u2019re only a metre off the ground.<\/p>\n
***\u00a0WATCH: These tourists are not as brave as they look \u2013 can you see why? ***<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brazilian bodybuilder Luis Fernando Candela made jaws drop everywhere with a snap of him dangerously dangling off a rock using only his feet and the help of his rock-hard abs.<\/p>\n
Luis claimed that it was his \u201cmost dangerous\u201d stunt yet and the photo got shared around the world.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cMy girlfriend was terrified but I was determined to get the photo.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou've got to know what you're doing though because if you fall you've had it \u2013 the drop is too much.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been doing it for years now and love it \u2013 you only get one life so you have to live it, there's no fun in being boring.<\/p>\n
"The experience was amazing \u2013 terrifying, but amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
***\u00a0WATCH: Stunt goes horribly wrong as man is thrown off 4,000ft cliff ***<\/p>\n
But the most impressive thing about the snapshot was his use of the crop feature on his camera phone.<\/p>\n
Other adventurers gave the game away by showing the uncropped view of the area, which reveals that it\u2019s not dangerous at all.<\/p>\n
And while we can't be sure, we suspect this new "death-defying" photo might be just as misleading \u2013 at least we hope so otherwise that's some scary s***.<\/p>\n
