Apartments, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana - Ipanema - Buzios

The Christ Statue " Corcovado " is a must do while you are
in Rio. The statue is perched on a mountain top about 30
minutes drive from Copacabana. I recommend you take a taxi
or tour guide to the site then take the train up. It costs
about R$20.00 a person. The train ride itself is alot of fun as
it spirals around the lush and steep mountainside. The views
are breathtaking and inspiring. After visiting this landmark
you will know why they call Rio de Janeiro, " The Marvelous
City ".

Sugar Loaf Mountain " Pao de Acucar " is located in a quiet
town called Urca which is about a 15 minute ride from
Copacabana. They have cable cars that take you up. The ride
in the cable cars is alot of fun and the views from the top are
awesome. There are nicely manicured paths to walk on and
there is a nice restaurant on top with views of the bay. The
quaint town of Urca that sits at the base of the mountain is a
great place for quiet walks and there are a few nice places to
grab lunch or a drink.

Copacabana Beach stretches for about 2 miles and is the
epicenter of leisure and activity in Rio. On a nice day you will
see thousands of people herd on this famous strip of beach
to play soccer, volleyball, swim, body surf and socialize. From
here you will really appreciate Carioca culture and why
Brazilians are famed around the world as the most beautiful
people. The sidewalk lining the beach is designed with black
and white stones which form the famous undulating mosaic of
Copacabana sidewalks.

Maracana If you like football then you can't miss the
opportunity to see Brazilian Soccer in the World's Largest
Soccer Stadium. Maracana holds over 100,000 people and has
hosted many championship games. It is due to host the
World Cup Final in 2014 and will be the centerpiece of the
2016 Summer Olympics. Definitely an unforgettable Brazilian
experience.

Buzios is a nice getaway from Copacabana & Ipanema with
magnificent beaches and crystal clear waters. There is a quaint
center of town where you will find shopping and nightlife.
Approximately 100 miles from Rio de Janeiro with a distinct
slower pace and Caribbean feel. Great way to get out of the
city for a few days and experience another part of Rio. Ask
about one of our drivers taking you there.

Arpoador Rocks I love this place! Right in between
Copacabana and Ipanema is a small neighborhood called
Arpoador. There is a natural peninsula formation with huge
boulders jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. Walk there from
your apartment and enjoy the paths and gorgeous views of
Ipanema Beach.

Barra da Tijuca is Rio's hottest new upscale neighborhood
known to be the residence of many rich and famous people.
The beach in Barra is gorgeous with white sand and turquoise
waters. You will find a lot of beautiful people here sun bathing,
kite surfing and body boarding. There are lots of great stores
at Barra Shopping, and upscale clubs and restaurants. Barra
is about a 30 minute drive from Ipanema and you can get
here by bus or car. Great day trip!
