Anonymous female tourist went one step ahead of others to get a 'perfect shot' for her partner's Instagram account, international media reported. In a video that was posted by the social media influencer who goes by the name of theleswil, a woman can be seen perilously positioning herself close to a 3000-foot drop off a rocky cliff face. 

According to reports, the Instagrammer and his partner did two and half hour trek to reach atop the Pedra Da Gavea mountain near Rio De Janeiro. After they reached the top of the mountain, the woman climbed atop a rock which was placed on the edge of the mountain for the Instagrammer to click and post the picture on his page.

The clip also showed the famous Copacabana beach, a wide-angle view of Rio de Janeiro city and the South Atlantic Ocean. The video immediately captured the internet's attention and garnered nearly 24 thousand views. However, it did not go down well with many users who slammed her for risking her life.
