Brazil’s Most Loved Beach Terrain, Copacabana!

If you want to get acquainted with Brazil’s culture and enjoy your vacation to the hilt, then Copacabana is the destination.

Copacabana is an exciting place where you can let loose, understand its culture and meet some really nice local people, known to be friendly, warm and loving. The Copacabana neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro is located in the city’s southern zone and famous the world over for its seaside strip by the same name that stretches over four kilometers.

Avenue Princesa Isabel marks the beginning of this district which ends at lifeguard watchtower Posto Seis. Until 18th century, the district of Copacabana was known as Sacopenapã and later renamed inspired by Virgin Lady of Copacabana, Bolivia’s patron saint and given the status of a city.

Copacabana is a great place for tourist and has no dearth of good hotels and hostels for accommodation, besides an array of beachside cafes, fine restaurants, bars and swanky nightclubs that are scattered on the promenade.
