Beaches & Nature

Of course Rio is well known for beaches and outdoor areas. This section includes famous beaches, nature ideas and also secret beaches no one speaks about.

Copacabana and Ipanema

The two most famous beaches in Brazil ( and the world!). They have a long shoreline and are popular with tourists. Go and check out! Pro tip: everything costs more when you are a tourist!

Tijuca National Park

A large forest area with hiking opportunities and viewpoints. It can be a good option for visitors who want nature.

Cabo Frio and Arraial do Cabo

These are the two best beaches in Rio de Janeiro for me and many others. They are located 3 hours away from the capital but it is whorthwhile to visit. Suggestion is to take at least a weekend there to enjoy and fall in love!
