at a glance | always occupied by the many birds hoping for leftover fish, a walk along this pier gets a visitor one step closer to understanding how a beach can be a source of work and not just a vacation spot. guaratiba actually means 'congregation of ibises' in the indigenous tupi language, and it is a wonderful place for bird lovers as there are a number of species in this area. the small houses are the homes of the many fishermen in the district that either live there of dock their boats in these waters. many of these fishermen sell their catch at the local fish market, and many supply the local restaurants - making of this beach and this neighborhood a precious spot for anyone in search of a different rio, ready to experience simpler, more authentic flavors. |
