Rio De Janeiro's Smaller Acknowledged Beaches Behind Copacabana And Ipanema

By Mauricio Carvalho


Hidden from the popularity of Copacabana and Ipanema, Praia Vermelha (Red Beach) is a exquisite spot with steeply sloped sands. This beach captivates its visitors with its unique, luxuriant and unexpected charm.

Surrounded by coconut and bamboo trees, this spot is merely another enchanting oasis of tranquility and calm in Rio de Janeiro that's privileged with cacti, orchids, bromeliads and grassy plants.

The red beach lies near the Morro da Urca, situated in the mountains just above. From this beach you are able to reach Sugar Loaf by cable car which is a definite must see tourist attraction.

Sugar Loaf Mountain (Po de Aucar), rises 1,300ft above sea-level providing you with a breathtaking panoramic view of Rio's grand beauty including Copacabana. With high perching rocks nestled amongst magnificent bays and gorgeous beaches on one side and abruptly ascending mountains from the water on the other side, this area is wonderful for intimate outings and spectacular photos.

Enthusiastic surfers may also find red beach an interesting destination for its hollow and quick waves. In particular the left side of the beach, also called Saquinho, is a wonderful spot for equally newcomers and experts.

Your excursion to this Rio de Janeiro beach might be a reason to partake in a rock climbing session. Never tried it before? Do not fret! There are professionals that will escort you on this fantastic excursion. Naturally you must be fit and in great form for this activity.

When staying in Rio de Janeiro, you will have a lot of alternatives for accommodations between hotels and flats and also low budget hostel vacation rentals. Depending on how many people are in your party, your period of stay, budget and individual preferences, your options will be divided amongst those 3 options.

If choosing in between hotels or flats, in our judgment, apartment vacation rentals are actually the selection to make especially in Ipanema and Copacabana. With rio apartments, you can pick from low budget one bedrooms to high-class penthouses on the beach. Your possibilities are numerous and the convenience level far exceeds the advantages of rio hotels.
