Check the breaking waves on the left side and on Ipanema's side, you'll have a breathtaking view on the sunset.

It's a great place for taking pictures! You can spend hours going up and down the stairs, in awe by this delicate artwork. Also, this place isn't very known by foreigners, so many people come to Rio and never discover it.

Ipanema is the beach where everybody goes. Despite of having a lot of tourists here, it's totally different from Copacabana. There are different zones in the beach. Posto 8 is gay-friendly, Posto 9 is 420-friendly and a little bit hippie and alternative too, and Posto 10 is more preppy but still laid-back.

An old tv advertisement used to say that Cariocas are always looking for different sights of the most famous monument around, the Christ. It’s true, and Parque Lage has its own Christ’s particular sight. A walk in the garden is something you should really try in a hot day.

Prainha is far from the center of Rio, but still worth the visit. You can be in a place not well known even for many cariocas. Only the real locals - people that lives in the surrounding neighborhoods - go there often and enjoy the beauty and the environment.
