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.

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.

Check the breaking waves on the left side and on Ipanema's side, you'll have a breathtaking view on the sunset.
It's considered special as during the midsummer you are able to enjoy the sun setting over the sea (a rare event in the Brazilian coast) right next to the Two Brothers hill.

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.
