tourists have the option of partying every night of the week in rio, where sunday and monday can become as wild as any other night of the week. ilha dos pescadores, a club located on a small island in barra de tijuca, hosts a great funk night on sundays - it is great place to meet fellow travelers off the beaten track.

inside the club, which is situated away from the town centre, the setting open-aired setting and huge surrounding palm trees create a very brazilian atmosphere.
