amazingly, this beach is actually located within rio's city
boundaries, in rio's
south-west
zone within the
grumari natural
reserve park
(reserva
ecológica de grumari),
home to the more famous beaches of
grumari
and
prainha.
praia do
inferno became known when the
former governor of rio de janeiroleonel
brizola made it a habit to retreat here to relax.
reachable only by hiking or by sea, praia do inferno is a most
special beach that would add to anyone's vacation in many ways.
