Learn to surf and hang out with the cool crowd !
When you’re done with your beach adventures, stroll around the streets and browse the art galleries, cafes and many restaurants. Try the local dish, Feijoad. The local hippie fair on Sundays in the centre of the neighbourhood should not be overlooked.
Golden sunsets bathe the beach below, making it impossible not to fall in love with Rio, the marvellous city. There’s a rocky point at the eastern end of Av Vieira Souto, which is known as one of Rio’s top spots for watching the sunset.
General things to do in Rio include beach activities on the world-famous Copacabana beach, visiting the Christ the Redeemer statue standing proudly on the peak of Corcovado mountain, taking the cableway up to Sugarloaf mountain and exploring the trails of Tijuca National Park.
