Copacabana & Ipanema
7 shoudios
Rio. The name summons images of impossibly beautiful people decorating sweeping beaches with domes of granite in the background. This is Rios Zona Sul, or South Zone but Zona Sul is so much more. Stroll past trendy clothing and shoe stores, or window-shop outside the high-end jewelry stores, then refresh yourself at the restaurant where the song The Girl from Ipanema was written. If you enjoy the simpler pleasures, sip from a chilled coconut by the lake, strike up a conversation with the vendor at the newspaper stand, linger over a deliciously rich cup of coffee, or sit at the beach and marvel at the amazing game of foot volley. Nestled between tree-shrouded cliffs and the shimmering South Atlantic, Rios South Zone should be visited at least once.
