located
in rio's
south-west
zone, and
part of rio de janeiro's
last
untouched beaches,
praia funda
(deep beach) is set between
praia do meio and
praia do inferno.
part of the the
grumari natural
reserve park
(reserva
ecológica de grumari),
this is a 300 meter (900 ft) beach of soft white sand and
crystalline
waters still inside rio's city boundaries, yet still wild,
undeveloped, and away from everything.
surrounded by thick flush
vegetation and steep slopes on all sides, praia funda is a tropical paradise
with beautiful colors surrounding fine white sand, rich of shells
and sea life.
