praia de
ipanema is famous for its bossa nova
song 'the girl from ipanema' written and composed by vinícius de
moraes.
it is said that the corner where rue vinícius de moraes,
which runs perpendicular to the beach, meets the sands is the
area where the poet watched the girl in the waters and
got inspired to write the classic tune.
while ipanema posto 9 is famous for
being hip and a social hotspot, there is also a strong
sportive component along this stretch of the beach.
