at a glance | romantic in nature, these areas are inherited today from the very first beaches in rio de janeiro, when the ocean here was seen as a mean of survival, and not as a leisure environment. most of these beaches are located in jurujuba, a very old neighborhood in niterói, and in the zona west of rio, between barra de guaratiba and sepetiba, districts rarely visited by foreign travelers. areas home to colorful houses, fishing boats, small markets, elders at work, and forgotten simplicity - a journey into a life that is never in the spot light, a feeling of peace and integrity, and beautiful views. |
