| This is the
most famous beach in Rio and Brazil and probable whole South America.
Copacabana is the capital of Brazilian tourism and it’s possible
to spend an entire holiday without leaving this area. It’s about
4,5 km long stretch of white sand, and a big sidewalk that is used
for walking, running, bicycling and roller-skating. There are many
beach soccer fields, as well as volley-ball and foot-volley ball
courts on the sand. Don’t forget to try an ice-cold coconut at a
beach bar on the sidewalk! On Sundays one of the road lanes are
closed so people can stroll with there kids and dogs here. There
are about 600,000 people living here, and with 25,000 people per
sq km this is one of the highest population densities in the world.
The fireworks on New Years Eve attracts more than 2 million people
down to the beach at Copacabana. |
