We went on a cruise and arrived on a Sunday. At the port the taxis asked us to take 4 adults to Ipanema 150 u$s. After haggling it was available for 100 u$s. So we said we would walk 8 blocks to the Uruguayan Metro Station, which after a comfortable 15-minute trip, left us 4 blocks from Ipanema. The total round trip cost is 55 reais, approx. 12 reais.

One of the most famous "promenades" in the world is an invitation to a rush-free walk. I like to see and hear, unpretentiously, the sea, the work of artists, the sounds and accents of national and other parts of the world tourists passing by us, and contemplate the buildings in classical, art deco, contemporary and modern styles that make up the landscape of this part of the carioca shore. Drinking a chopp or a caipirinha is also a good option for the late afternoon. After all, a space where everyone enjoys their way and cohabits harmoniously.

The Atlantica Avenue is one of the main logradouros of the city of Rio de Janeiro and where is the iconic Ipanema Beach. Great location, good to walk and enjoy the view and enjoy the many bars and restaurants. The avenue connects the beaches of Leme and Copacabana. It is on this beach that is held every year today internationally famous Reveillon de Copacabana, with a large burning of fireworks celebrating the passage of the old year to the New Year. It is a great visual and social experience with about 3 million people gathered and scattered across the beach. It is worth knowing this revival and enjoying the end of one and the entrance of another year.
