(Translated by Google) Small guesthouse with only 2 chalets, located in the best part of Patacho Beach (only 100m from the sea but with chairs and umbrellas on the beach and far from the operators' reception areas). Super exclusive, safe and well-decorated environment for those who want peace and quiet. Naturally heated pool due to the heat of the region. Fair price. Very friendly and attentive owners with great experience in hosting people. Thank you for your kindness and chats. Alexandre and Angela (Original) Pousada pequena com apenas 2 chales, situada na melhor parte da Praia do Patacho(apenas 100m do mar mas com cadeiras e guarda sol na praia e longe dos receptivos de operadoras).

Proprietários muito simpaticos e atenciosos com grande experiência em hospedar pessoas. Obrigado pelo carinho e pelos papos. Alexandre e Angela

(Translated by Google) Quiet place, great for relaxing, very tasteful decor and very close to the beach. (Original) Local tranquilo, ótimo p descansar,decoração de muito bom gosto e muito perto da praia.

(Translated by Google) An intimate place to stay. Exclusive environment, since the surrounding inns are not accessible to everyone and neither are the remains to eat. The place itself is very good, the room has everything you need to be comfortable: good mattress, good shower, large bathroom, good air conditioning. Breakfast is very good and complete. However, there are no markets in the surrounding area where you can buy food or even a bottle of water, so you must pay what the inn requests. This particular accommodation, because it is small and not on the beach, tries to provide you with lounge chairs and an umbrella. Anyway, at lunch time, you end up looking for a hostel, because the place does not provide food. And since in those places they give you the umbrella and the lounge chair with the drink you end up staying there, hahaha... at least that's how it happened to us... The beach is nice, you can walk to the natural pools, I recommend wearing water shoes now there are hidden urchins and sharp corals under the water. The beach may not appeal to everyone, since the dynamics are determined by the rise and fall of the tide... for many hours the water reaches your knees no matter how much you walk (a kilometer leisurely). Happy stay! (Original) Un lugar íntimo donde alojarse. Entorno exclusivo, ya que las posadas de los alrededores no son accesibles para todos y tampoco lo son los restos para comer. El lugar en si está muy bien, la habitación tiene todo lo necesario para estar cómodos: buen colchón, buena ducha, baño amplio, buen aire acondicionado. El desayuno es muy bueno y completo. Lo que sí en los alrededores no hay Mercados donde comprar vivieres o aunque sea una botella de agua, por lo que debes abonar lo que la posada solicite. Este alojamiento en particular, por ser pequeño y no estar sobre la playa, procura brindarte reposeras y sombrilla. De todos modos, a la hora de comer, terminas buscando un parador, porque el lugar no brinda alimentos. Y como en esos lugares te dan la sombrilla y la reposera con la consumición te terminas quedando ahí, jajaja… por lo menos así nos pasó… La playa es linda, se puede ir caminando a las piscinas naturales, recomiendo llevar calzado para el agua ya qué hay erizos escondidos y corales filosos debajo del agua. La playa puede no gustarle a todo el mundo, ya que la dinámica se halla determinada por la suba y baja de la marea… durante muchas horas el agua te llega a las rodillas sin importar cuánto camines (un kilómetro tranquilamente). Feliz estancia!

Dirty beach, old infrastructure and weird local people and beggars. I do not recommend for a family. The streets around are also dirty, no marked crossings in the city and the car and motorcar trafic is high. It is a pitty, because it has a great potential. The local authority just need to move out all the trash and regulate the annoying local vendors.

Awesome beach, really worth visiting. Between November and March, if it's not crowded you just walk along the shore and you will be offered seats ("cadeiras") under a sunshade or sunbrella for R$30. It might get really crowded on Sundays.

Plain awful. The water is disgusting and it is unclear as to whether the water is muddy or if it is sewage. We walked the entire length of the beach and didn’t find it suitable to get in at any point. The sand itself is fine. I cannot understand how this beach gets such high ratings. Avoid this beach if planning on getting in the water.

Show

Disheartening how absolutely disgusting this beach is. Unless you are into loud sound bars from every other group, into piles of trash mixed with algae, and into muddy ocean floor, this place is not for you. The 2 stars go to how this beach looks from far away: pretty ocean reefs and blue sea water. Unfortunately up close, it is a disappointment. Avoid!

Nice place for shopping and eating, the beach is beautiful but bathing is more complicated due to the dumping of the open air sewer into the ocean... Go to Marechal Deodoro instead.

Super 👍

It's one of the best beaches i saw and the area around it has so much pusadas, restaurants, super markets cafes you not need to go to another place

Wish the businesses would clean the beach area. There were dead fish along the water line. Bottle caps buried in the sand. Beach area lost 2 stars due to cleanliness and aggressive vendors. The water is nice. There is a wave breaker wall. Parts of the beach are crowded with businesses and people. I selected the area near the lifeguard tower as it was less crowded. 50R$ for table and umbrella if you don't order food.

Was the first time here and I really wish to come back. There's 2 kiosk to order food and drink, but the view and the sunset it's awesome.

My favorite beach in Maceió! It is extremely clean and it isn’t busy like other beaches. We also liked the waves - they were awesome. Kiosks were all good too.

Beautiful and nice to spend the day but there are too many people selling stuff and they don't take a no for an answer easily. Could be cheaper

Awesome place, sincerely the best beach in Alagoas. If you go to this beach I strongly recommend to stay at Ronaldo's and Reinaldo's tent, they're the best....

(Translated by Google) Top beach, lots of variety of stalls, prices, typical food, very quiet beach (Original) Praia top, bastante variedades de barracas, preços, comidas típicas, praia muito tranquila

Busy beach with lots of people and lots of things to do. Not my favorite to just sit at, but all of the adventures and food are great. Very beautiful area

Although the beach is beautiful, but the commercial environments are disappointing and unacceptable, all they want is to make every single penny from the tourist. When you wanted to pay the buggy by credit card, they additionally charge you 15%, when you pay by debit card, they additionally charge you 10%, when you wanted to pay by Pix, they do not accept, the only way they do not charge you more is by cash. We are only 5 people group, they wanted to charge us by 6 seats for the buggy. If you wanted to park your car, you have to pay 25 BRL. Absolutely, will never come this place again, everything is disappointing.

A MUST visit place if you are in Maceió, Brazil. The place not only offer the beautiful beach but have a lot of activities to do. To name few, buggy ride to the canyon, banana boat, helicopter ride, jet ski and other beach activities surely you will enjoy.

Best place to visit in Alagoas for more fun and activities.

Beautiful beach. Perfect to go during the week.

Spectacular place with a beautiful ocean view around it.

Love this place. Great staff , grest service.

Great experience for kids and family

The place is good to family tour.

Small, but very enjoyable

A really great place. Full of species of fishes, even sharks. The main attraction are the marine turtles, various species and their cubs (which you can see been freed onto the sea depending on the season). The place supports a conservancy projected to protect the turtles.

Great staff, well organized and well mantained environment. The entry ticket justifies its R$ 24 price tag, letting you go to any places in the stabelecement (excluding the Yellow Submarine atraction) with freedom All animals are healthy and are well cared and loved by everyone working there. Things on the exit shop are pricy but are justificable by how much this project has been doing and how much they need to pay for taking care of the animals, maintain the building in good state and pay the employees as well. Overall, couldn't stay more happy to visit and help the project as well.

It's so little! I would recommend if you want to see a group of sharks and some little turtles. Overall I am kind of disappointed because compared to the TAMAR project of Praia do Forte this one has only is 1/3 of the size and attractions. I would recommend watch the animal feeding. You can also ask for a stamp in your arm in case you want to go out and return later on.

Place for relaxing and muscle flexing during weekend and place various restaurant serving different type of food.

Nice and peaceful place.

With a size of a 3 floor building and memorable shapes, it's a very good tourist point in orla. In its front there are EU ❤️ ARACAJU, which means: I love Aracaju. This is the best known place from the capital of Sergipe. Beside the Arcos da Orla de Atalaia there is the beach, but you need take a long walk in the sand to be at the sea. Don't forget put your summer screen.

(Translated by Google) The tide is rising very quickly there, so there's practically no beach left. The best thing to do is take a buggy ride or a speedboat tour, which takes people to Father-in-law Island and Mother-in-law Island. (Original) O mar está subindo muito rápido lá então praticamente não existe mais praia. O legal é um passeio de Buggy e o passeio de lancha, onde leva as pessoas para a ilha do Sogro e a ilha da Sogra.

(Translated by Google) Very satisfactory. Now there's a group of people with jet skis that nobody likes; besides drinking, they ride them around close to people and children. It's scary because there could be an accident. (Original) Muito satisfatório.

(Translated by Google) Beach with crystal clear waters (Original) Praia de águas cristalinas

It's a very interesting, but small exhibit. It's fun to see, but keep in mind that you will maybe spend there 1-2 hours MAX. If you don't have a tour! We went 2 hours before closing and it was the perfect time to go.

It is definitely a place worth visiting. You can admire turtles of different sizes, from tiny hatchlings to enormous old turtles. While they offer guided tours, unfortunately, these tours are not available in English, and not all exhibit descriptions have English translations. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the visit.

Amazing from A to Z you can spend a whole day here with the kids and they'll never get board. Food, play area. Shows and lots of nice vibes. Highly recommended the kids can feed the turtles too!

I was very impressed with the amount of information about turtles. They have a number of different turtles as well as other sea life. Also there's turtles that have been found injured that are being treated. With the moderate admission it was well worth the experience. I was very impressed with the obvious passion the staff has to support the mission of protecting turtles. The staff were readily available to answer the questions that our group had. The gift shop had a number of beautiful options. Make a visit here a part of your vacation to Priai do forte!

Beautiful spot to visit in Bahia Praia do Forte small Village and living place

Fun outdoor activity to do with kids (free under 5)! Employees are kind, always available to explain or help. Fun way to learn about turtles. There are also sharks and rays to see. The gift shop is nice too :) For people with babies, please note that there are 2 bathrooms on the site, but only one that is baby friendly. It's the one located at the entrance of the park where you pay your ticket. Enjoy :)

Love the place. The landscape and the turtles are amazing. You can clearly see that they love them and care about them. If you want to eat somenthing inside there, you have an open restaurant facing the ocean with a breathtaking view. You will not regret the experience.

Regular..m

Buracão is definitely one of the most beautiful waterfalls you'll see. And it is by far the most must-go spot in Chapada Diamantina. It is compulsory to hire a local guide to enter the park. Usually, it costs 150 for up to 6 persons (we were two, so we paid 75 reais each). The entrance fee is 15 reais per person. The access isn't as easy as many other spots around but it's really worth it. We drove past Ibicoara, about 24km on an dirt road, then another 4km past the ticket booth, and then we walked for 1 hour in an easy-level track, which is suitable for both elder and children alike. You can reach the bottom part of the waterfal either by rappel (commonly 1 ½ hours wait plus 20 minutes rappelling) or walking (20 minutes). If you choose to walk down the track, you drop your stuff on a rock and swim a small shallow canal to see the waterfall from below. Water is refreshing cold. There's no one selling beverages or whatsoever at the waterfall so it's a good idea to grab yourself something to eat. There's someone selling snacks (many vegan and vegetarian options available) and beverages at the entrance of the track (past the ticket booth, right before you start the walk).

This is a must do in the region. The trail is 3 km long (very short in my opinion), going through local vegetation, rock formations and the river that becomes the Waterfall. The waterfall is spectacular (nothing more to say). Our guide, Ossy (not sure I am writting that corectly) was very kind, and adapted the tour to our needs and interests. Totally recommend.

Extremely nice, bade below a 85 meters tall water fall, with ok water temperature and with safety vests included. Not too crowded.

Must go !.. best waterfall in Brazil

Amazing waterfall in a great setting! Definitely worth it! But avoid to do the tour with the agency Bicho do Mato - even though the price for a group of four is fixed in Ibicoara they charged us more after we returned from the tour.

Hike along a river, through the mata, down beside one waterfall to arrive at a canyon that you need to swim through to reach a spectacular waterfall... An amazing day. Just be careful following Google maps - we were led well astray. You have to go through Ibicoara, and it's worth getting a guide from there - there's a tricky lookout you probably won't find on your own to see Buracão from above.

I felt like in jurassic Park, ❣❣❣🤪❗❗❗👍ones of the most beautiful experience of my life. I was there 20 years ago, and then get there was a thought ride. One day I will go back 🙏❣🇮🇹❗👍

We had an amazing time staying at Pousada Praia Joao Fernandes. The view from our room was amazing, as was the view from the restaurant and reception. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, especially Flor, Stephanie, and Cinthia. They were able to answer any questions we had. You can not beat the location. We were just 2 minutes from one of our favorite beaches. Every morning, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast provided at reception and enjoy a morning swim down at the beach. We will definitely be returning for another stay!

Very well located almost beach front. Breakfast was outstanding. The infrastructure needs to be taken care of, not everything works

Perfect location, rooms were amazing, the staff were phenomenal! The restaurant food and the continental breakfast were delicious! I would absolutely go back!

Away from the riff raff. Great breakfast and close to the beaches.

Had a lovely stay !

Friendly staff, beautiful location, rooms . Not one complaint

Great beach. The best in Buzios

If you come to Búzios, this is one of the beaches you might want to visit. It is long, windy and has fine hot sand, where hurrying your feet feels nice. There is a serving shack, somewhat expensive but buying a couple beers will grant you access to the beach chairs and umbrellas.

If you are going to visit Buzios, this is the beach I recommend staying at, particularly if you rent a house (which is what we did). The surf can be a bit rough for very small kids, but some of the best waves for surfing/boogie boarding I have seen anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean. The beach itself is reasonably wide and not overly crowded. There are bars at one end for food.

wide beach plenty of space that allows to play ball, racket, etc.. without bothering anyone... it has different areas with stronger waves with some light surf combined with other areas more quiet where kids can play safely... the free space also allows to avoid the umbrella rent, something very difficult in other beach here at buzios. prices are lower too and since it bigger it has a very good variety for food and snacks... the nad part of the story... in theory Brazil laws prohibit to be charged for umbrella but this is something not being checked, therefore people at the beach charges what they want, even for undefined services or for using the umbrella and not consuming a minimum amount

Really nice place. Good for people that enjoy playing in the waves, but in the safety of the shallow ocean at the same time. Also you can easily swim further than the waves breaking and enjoy a calmer area. It can be quite windy. Large sand strand, really good to practice sports. Beautiful sunset can be watched there. And it is kinda cute how the beach is "hidden" with the little alley entrances. The only problem I experienced was people burying (very badly, IF they do it) the poop of their dogs. Definately not a place to let your kid dig up the sand and build castles with it...

Geriba Beach is one of those places that leave you in awe before the blessed, magnificent natural beauty. If you want to savor a state of amazement, go there.

Beautiful beach, great view. But very expensive.

The most beautiful beach. Took long walks in the morning while staying here on vacation.

Wow!!! Beautiful soft white sand beach surrounded by hills of cactus and constantly served by locals for popsicles, fried fish etc.

Beautiful beach with a bit hard walk The water was very good and warm (August) but the access is a bit dangerous. Be ready for local people approaching you to charge you for your parking and offer all kind of adventures. Local police and guards to protect your way to the beach.

Paradise alert! Absolute love this beach. The only way to get there is by boat or trekking. I decided to walk. It took me less than 10 minutes to get to the beach. The views in the way are stunning. I couldn’t believe how beautiful this place was. I love it. Once I got to the beach I got one seat and had delicious food and drinks in front of the water. Amazing!!

Very nice beach, but can get very busy in high season. The boats bringing the people of nearby Cabo Frio to the beach can become a nuisance as they blare their music and it disturbs the peace and quiet. The water is crystal clear, and a sight to behold. There are some walking trails, but you are advised to go in a large group as it might not be save alone

Very beautiful beach but little space when tide is high, so check time before.. good offer of food and drinks and SUP, canues...

Small beach. Good for snorkeling. Difficult to reach. Long walk from a very high point and back. Turtles. Fishes. Squibs. Clear water.

One of the most beautiful beaches I went at state of RJ during my last trip to Brazil!

This place is so beautiful. I travel display and so happy. I travel my family. This place is very good popular is so friendly. This place restaurant is so better Dena Adarsh

Amazing, is the place more beautiful in the world.

Two absolutely beautiful white sand beaches with crystal clear blue water. You can walk between the two beaches if you don't mind getting a little wet.

The place is beautiful, and the sea is cold, it is worth the visit. But, take care. It is extremely expensive. R$15 a taxi to go up R$15 to go back, they block the street, Uber is not allowed. If you are going to eat at the beach, ask before, everything is insanely expensive. You are not going to pay less than R$150 for something to eat. Go early, around midday it gets crowded.

one of the most beautiful places in the cabo frio area

very beautiful, but do yourself a favor and do not go for a weekend it is completely horrible there are too many people

This is a beautiful place that I've ever seen in my life...the water is so clean and blue....the sand is so delicious to walk...the view is wonderful. Everyone must go there one time

Beautiful beach, but it's military preserved, so you can't stay and enjoy more then 30-40 minuts. You have to take a boat tour to get there, and you can imagine how many people are on the small beach and so many boats around. It's an experience..

Beautiful beach, clear water and fine (very fine) sand. This beach belongs to a preserved area run by Brazilian Navy. There are rules to be followed and places you can't go. Nonetheless, is a great place to swim and rest in the sand.

This beautiful beach is only accessible by boat, and is near a Brazil navy site, so you're limited to only 40 minutes on the beach and you can't bring much with you on the beach. But all of that helps keep the beach very clean and less busy. The waters here are crystal clear. You can see the sand below you even when you're deep in the water.

Very nice beach. It's very clean and beautiful. Too bad you can only stay there for 40 minutes.

Mega beautiful and clean beach. Just reachable by boat. Only too crowded during the weekend/bank holiday.

Nice crystal clear water at beach

You can stay there just for a few minutes and it's too crowded. But it worths the visit!

It could really be pack after 10am. So, if you’d like a nice photo, do go early! We had to go back a 2nd time to get nice photo taken without people everywhere!

The stairs themselves are stunning but the sheer number of people trying to pose on them makes it overwhelming and takes away from the art. Go early or in the rain for the best chance at a decent view. The street leading up to the steps is full of souvenir stalls that are actually pretty well priced compared to the same stuff at Christ the Redeemer or Ipanema.

I came here twice, solely because it was so ridiculously busy the first time I thought it deserved a second go. The first was on a Saturday around 12. It was so insanely busy you could barely move let alone get any sort of pictures or enjoyment. The second was on a Monday around 10:30 it was still very busy but far less people. You could walk without getting in the way of to many people's photos and find a spot to take your own. Well the stairs are very beautiful, and it is completely free. I wouldn't say it is an absolute must see. If it's a stop on your tour, or nearby where you're staying I think go for it. But I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Such an amazing vibe with beautiful artwork on the steps. It can be a bit crowded, but it is so worth the trip. Grab a caprihana and stroll on up the steps. Great little shops at the bottom to check out too.

Easy to miss if you're going from up top. The stair view can be enjoyed from tje bottom only. They're located on a 5-10 minute walk from the cathedral and are definitely worth a visit.

Sept.25: would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn't so overcrowded. We unfortunately visited on Sunday afternoon, lots of tourists which all took their time to get pictures... It was even hard only to enter the stairs just to go up.

This place is an iconic one. I went there late in the afternoon and was packed! Still, flocks of people would come and go leaving good time to take pictures. However, the best moment to be there is very very early in the morning like 6.30am, sun rises around 6-6.18am so it'll be well lit and everything, and most importantly, empty! You don't need to buy a ticket to enter this place since it's open for everyone. Just be careful of your belongings as always, pay attention to your surroundings and you'd be just fine! If you have enough time it's really amazing to really pay attention to the different ceramic tiles, also, be careful on where you step, after all it's ceramic so it can be slippery or tricky at times.

Very good attraction. It gets really busy so be prepared to be pushing and shoving. Everybody is trying to get the best spot to record the videos. They do have nice foods and souvenir shop on top of the mountain. There is always entertainment going on like live music.

Sugarloaf in Rio offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, beaches, and mountains, absolutely worth the visit. The cable car ride is smooth and scenic. It can get very crowded, especially during peak hours, so try to go early or on a weekday. There are a few shops and places to grab a snack at the top, but prices are a bit high. Still, the overall experience is unforgettable and a must-do while in Rio!

We came here early to avoid the long line. A glass cable car carried us to the top of iconic Sugar Loaf Mountain, actually expect to ride second cable car to real mountain top, which is a symbol of the city, in ideal conditions, I supposed to see the stunning panorama of the beaches, Corcovado Mountain, downtown Rio, and Guanabara Bay, etc. actually what you can see is by chance, the mist of cloud always come across to make you wonder, and it's hard to take a good picture of the stunning panoramic view of bay. There are squirrel-like primates called marmosets which can be spotted near the cable car stations and trails on the mountain , a species native to eastern Brazil. The tourists are discouraged to feed them.

A world class experience. Preferable to book the cable car tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. There are queues to board and alight from the cable cars. The 2 levels of the cable car stations provide varied views of the city of Rio from the top. The vistas are breathtaking. It can get a little cold at the top, so dress accordingly. The Christ Redeemer statue can be seen from the top. There a few expensive stores and good cafés at the top. Toilet and drinking water facilities are good. Best time to visit is around the sunset time to get the night views of the city.

Beautiful! It’s a stop you cannot miss in Rio. I loved it!

A definite must do while you are here. The views are great and there’s heaps of little shops and restaurants on top. The history of the build is also really interesting

A must place to visit if visiting Rio. Usual problems of crowds. Really busy mid morning with cruise ship tours etc. Go early or later also mid day was quiet

Visiting Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro is one of those magical experiences that touch your heart. The moment you see the statue standing high above the city, surrounded by clouds and sunlight, it feels truly special. The view from the top of Corcovado is breathtaking the ocean, the mountains, and the city below all blend into one stunning panorama. There’s something peaceful and spiritual about being up there. Even with many visitors around, you can still feel a deep sense of calm and awe. The train ride through the lush forest adds to the experience, making the journey as beautiful as the destination. It’s a place that makes you feel grateful, inspired, and connected to nature, to faith, and to life itself. An absolute must-visit when in Rio.

Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) is an iconic statue of Jesus Christ located atop Mount Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This colossal Art Deco statue stands 98 feet tall, with arms outstretched spanning 92 feet, making it one of the largest statues of Jesus in the world and a symbol both of Rio and Brazil.The idea for the statue was first proposed in the 1850s but was only realized starting in 1922, with construction completed in 1931. Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa designed the statue, with sculptor Paul Landowski creating the statue’s detailed features. The statue is constructed of reinforced concrete and clad in durable soapstone, chosen for its ability to withstand the elements.Christ the Redeemer was built by the Catholic Church and local supporters to symbolize peace and welcome, standing prominently on Corcovado Mountain so it is visible from across Rio. Over the years, it has become a global cultural landmark and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The site includes panoramic views of Rio’s cityscape, beaches, and surrounding mountains. It also has facilities such as an elevator and motorized stairs for accessibility.Visitors appreciate not only the religious and cultural significance of the statue but also the stunning views and the impressive engineering feat behind its design and preservation. It represents a unifying symbol with spiritual, historical, and architectural importance in Brazil.Christ the Redeemer continues to undergo maintenance and preservation efforts to protect its structure, ensuring it can be enjoyed by generations to come

A fullfilment of one of my traveling dreams was to visit the statue and admire the views over the city. Might be crowded from time to time but with some spare time you'll get to experience everything easily with one visit. Pre-purchased tickets recommended and can be changed for instance due to weather conditions.

It’s unthinkable to visit Rio without getting up close to this iconic statue. Access via the inclined tramway, a few steps and an escalator is easy. It was very misty when I visited and so not too crowded. Thankfully the mist lifted enough to see this beautiful statue, although views of the city remained really limited. The little chapel built into the rear of the statue was a pleasant surprise. I can’t begin to imagine how crowded it must get on a clear day, but you must visit.

There’s literally nothing to say about this attraction other than wow. The feeling you get seeing something in person after seeing it so many times on TV is amazing. I’m surprised how organised they are. They have lift an escalators on top of the mountain. They are plenty of shops and food court. They do daily shows like Samba dancing.

It's worth it. Visiting what's Rio famous for. You can see Rio from the top. The journey to the top was amazing, great views and weather. It's bigger than I thought. Sometimes it's crowded and sometimes you can take photos or ask someone to take it for you. Beautiful memories. Go early and book online there is a website for the train and tickets flr the Redeemer on site. When you arrive There will be a short line and a gift store.

You can't visit Rio without visiting Christo. It's way up in the national park but visits are well organised and comfortable to all, including those with mobility issues! And the views are spectacular too!

The beach is beautiful. It was a bit wavy given I visited in the end of September and the water was a bit cold but it was really enjoyable and refreshing on hot days. There are many retailers that occasionally can try hard to sell whatever they have. It should also be known that this is not the safest place to be. One has to be very careful with his belongings and where to sit to avoid

Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro is everything you imagine it to be — and more! The moment you step onto the soft golden sand, you can feel the vibrant energy that makes this beach world-famous. The stunning curve of the coastline, framed by lush green hills and the rhythmic sound of the Atlantic waves, creates a picture-perfect scene that feels straight out of a postcard. What makes Copacabana so special is the unique blend of relaxation and excitement. In the mornings, it’s peaceful and ideal for a refreshing swim or a quiet walk along the promenade. As the day goes on, the beach comes alive with locals playing volleyball and football, vendors selling refreshing coconut water, and musicians adding a joyful samba rhythm to the air. The iconic black-and-white wave-patterned boardwalk is another highlight — perfect for strolling, cycling, or simply soaking in the view of the sea and city skyline. There are plenty of beachfront cafés and kiosks where you can enjoy delicious Brazilian snacks and fresh juices while watching the sunset paint the sky in shades of orange and pink. Copacabana Beach isn’t just a place — it’s an experience of Rio’s soul: warm, lively, and unforgettable. Whether you go to relax, meet people, or simply admire the breathtaking scenery, it’s a destination that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rio — Copacabana is pure magic. 🇧🇷✨

Sept.25: We went to the famous Copacabana Beach. We taught it would be crowded as it was weekend, however this wasn't the case. There were a lot of local vendors selling all kinds of stuff & many different food, icecreams & drinks. Some brought a complete umbrella with bikinis & thongs as well as really nice looking grilled big scampis (we didn't try as we didn't know how long they were exposed to sun, etc.) & many more. As we need to get the Copacabana beach vipe, we bought a 700ML freshly pressed lime caipirinha. Delicious, but with the sun & almost on an empty stomach; I got hit very fast. In the far we saw Christ the Redeemer (big, famous Jezus statue of 30 m height on a hill), we hope to visit one of these days.

Here's a good review of Copacabana beach: Copacabana is more than just a beach; it's the vibrant, beating heart of Rio de Janeiro. The moment you step onto its famous wave-patterned promenade, you feel an electric energy. The 4km stretch of sand is a democratic playground for everyone—you'll see intense games of footvolley, locals sunbathing, and tourists sipping água de coco from the countless kiosks. The view is spectacular, with the curving bay framed by Sugarloaf Mountain on one end. It’s a must-see for its sheer iconic status and incredible people-watching, capturing the city's lively spirit perfectly.

One of the famous beaches in the world was worth visiting. A fairly clean that has many things to offer - from food stalls to watching people play volleyball, soccer and other games, enjoying a nice drink, snacks and food. A good place to get your morning or afternoon walk/run as well. A safe place compared to some parts of Rio. From good to excellent hotels across the beach.

Loved this beach, it is great for long walks, it’s clean enough, it’s possible to see a beautiful sunset there. Really liked the fact that it was possible to pay by card for sunbeds, umbrellas and drinks. It’s often very busy there and I loved that vibe.

🔟 / 🔟 Hello, we were here. I have to say right from the start, this is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been, simply paradise. I really, really enjoyed my time here. There are a lot of interesting people here. Feel free to come here with your friends, family, partners or alone. Enjoy this paradise. We'd love to come back. See you next time. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Very nice museum. It's more an ethnic museum, where your can find handicrafts made by different ethnicities around Brazil. It's small but with an excellent and new discursive narrative

Incredible place.

Small, free and enchanting. Lovely museum ❤️

Must visit!

Free entrance and sympathetic museum. Quite compact and aimed at kids. Like!

Love this place, especially when there are expositions from Instituto MarAdentro!

Was closed during the day

Great beach stunning views of the mountains. Come with a group that preferably speaks Portuguese, people come up to you constantly trying to sell things and also ask for selfies. Beautiful people and great water, but with only two people it did feel very vulnerable.

The beach is spectacular and really good for people watching and sunbathing. It is never boring to stroll along the beach and notice all the happenings. Plenty of vendors to dine and entertain.

Beautiful beach to walk all the way through, got the opportunity to see the sunset here and it was stunning. They have exercise stations and a beach gym to get a nice workout

Probably the most beautiful beach in Rio, much better than Copacabana due to the view. There are vendors and people who rent umbrellas and such, but they were never too pushy like some people say. Overall a very chill vibe. I recommend buying the street corner as a snack, it’s very good!

Amazing beach, but NEVER buy anything from the walking sellers. I paied 1000$ for one caipirinha😢 They hacked the paymemt terminal , even applepay doesn’ help. So be careful

Ipanema Beach is absolutely stunning! The golden sand, turquoise waters, and breathtaking view of the Dois Irmãos mountains make it one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The atmosphere is lively, with beach vendors, music, and people playing footvolley. The sunset here is unforgettable! It's a great spot to relax, but also perfect if you're looking for a more social beach experience. Just be mindful of your belongings, as petty theft can be an issue. Overall, a must-visit when in Rio! 🌊☀️🏖️

The beach itself is lovely but the beach vendor paraiso tropical 96 ruined the day. If you go to the beach avoid Paraiso Tropical 96!!!!!!Completely over charged us. €141 (850 Brazil Real) for two chairs, an umbrella and two waters.

Such an amazing place. From the tram station ride to the mountain top to the steps up the cliffside. The views are incredible and on a clear day like today you can see for hundreds of miles. Jutting out from the ocean you can see the sugarloafs and landscapes. Take your time and spend the day there. Have lunch or a snack be sure to bring water and hydrate and just enjoy. I shot these arial pictures and videos with a dji mini pro 3 drone. You can see full edits on my YouTube channel. I hope you can feel the breathtaking images.

If your intention is to have a good sports day away from the beach, this is a great alternative.There are many different hiking trails here from the very easy to much more complex ones and even a trail for the seeing impaired!!! 👀 we went with a guide, a tour that ended up being very interesting.But there were many groups of people that were just in groups doing their own thing , so I don't necessarily think you have to have a guide. There's a cup of nice waterfalls , not all of them you can bathe in , but the one that we visited for swimming was more of a shower than actual swimming pond! Good place to also escape the heat of the city.Even though we were told by our guide that when it's very hot outside , it gets double hot sauna style in there. Unfortunately, for us, we did not get to see many animals.We heard lots of birds that we did not see and we saw some monkeys.But I was hoping to see much more.And unfortunately when we went that was not the case. As far as what you should wear while you're there , we were in sneakers and t shirt and shorts. We did see some people wearing tall hiking boots and walking sticks. The bathrooms in the park itself are free.But there are trails that have a cafe with bathrooms but they charge almost 4 reals .. You are discouraged at all times of feeding the animals however I did see some locals giving bananas to the monkeys.

A unique experience at Tijuca National Park with our guide Erik from Get Your Guide. He was incredibly friendly, informative, and encouraged us to fully enjoy the caves and trails. The hike through the jungle was absolutely worth it—beautiful views, rich nature, and even some wildlife sightings.

A local friend booked us on the Indiana Jungle Tour which I enjoyed very much!!! Don’t miss the Museum Açude built circa 1920-30s. Antonio and fernando are great guide!!i appreciated their knowledge of the jungles plants。

It took us about 2.5 hrs to hike up to the Pico de Tijuca and the views were breathtaking.

Tijuca National Park was great. It hike was very Chakraborty but so worth every step. We saw toucans and monkeys. It was quite the experience. We really enjoyed ourselves. Entering the bat caves was a highlight for all of us. I totally recommend Tijuca National Park for anyone up for a challenging hike and any with a desire to see a real Brazilian rain forest.

The national park is stunning! As you venture deeper into the forest, the scenery becomes increasingly breathtaking. I had a great time biking here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Along with catching a glimpse of the Christ Reemder view, I also had the chance to observe a variety of trees, bamboo forests, birds, monkeys, and even pythons. The forest is adorned with intermittent waterfalls that add to its charm. This location is a must-visit for any nature enthusiast.

The beach itself is amazing, beautiful it blends the city with nature, just by turning around a corner.. Great options to eat seafood based meals and an amazing spot for surfing. Which makes it not so welcoming to swimmers, cause there usually are a lots of waves. Phone reception over there is really bad, so getting an uber to leave the place might be an ordeal, i'd recommend a car, a bycicle or accept the fact that you might have to walk back part of the way before u can get Internet again (but there is a chance that u'll get internet over there).

Amazing scenery beach in Rio. Great for those who surf. Families are welcome too. I recommend you to visit it before 11h am specially during the weekends when it gets crowded.

Great beach in a little cove. Water is great, ground is firm unlike other beaches, and waves are pretty good sized to body surf and swing in.

Absolutely wonderful and small cove beach in Rio de Janeiro.

I call this place the Hawaii of Rio!! It is beautiful, clean, safe and full of waves. The restaurant located at the point is pretty tasty and a little pricy. Prainha is a must when visiting Rio!!!

One of Rio' best beachs, prainha is small and full of natural florest. It is loved by the surf community.

Lovely beach. Go during the day, while the sun is up! Just make sure it doesn't get dark while you are at Prainha beach, we couldn't find a taxi and struggled a bit as wifi connection didn't work well either.
