You can either take a private van or this train to the top of the mountain to see the Christ the Redeemer. Our favorite way is to take this little train.
Beautiful views of the Guanabara Bay! Note: There is also a supermarket chain called Pão de Açúcar
Next to Ipanema Beach - locals love to sit on the rock and watch the sunset!
There are little Kiosks (little buildings on the sidewalks) they sell drinks and food, great to relax in the afternoon or after a bike ride. We recommend renting a bike and riding it on the "orla", the bike trails next to the beach! Great way to get around the beach area! There are little tents on the beach that rent chairs and umbrellas (bring cash - small notes R$5 and R$10s), some hotels already provide these for you!
Beach is next to Ipanema Beach
Great beach for paddle boarding or playing beach tennis. Take some time and walk by the Copacabana Palace Hotel to view some beautiful arquitecture.
