Copacabana

Copacabana probably is the most famous beach in the world. The sea, the sand, its peculiar sidewalks, the wonderful sights, the important buildings, give Copacabana a distinctive character.

Copacabana es, probablemente, la playa más famosa del mundo. El mar, la arena, sus peculiares veredas, las maravillosas vistas, los edificios importantes, le dan a Copacabana un carácter distintivo.

You can take a walk along the white and black sidewalks any time; there is nothing better to cheer up!

Puedes caminar por las veredas con diseños en blanco y negro a cualquier hora del día; no hay nada mejor para animarse!

    Sounds like an amazing place! I would be very disapointed if I came to Rio and I could not see the statue of Christ and the veiw.

    I love Rio de Janeiro and Petropolis. However, contrary to local legend, the Wright Brothers were first in flight.
