One of the most breath-taking and photogenic areas to capture in Rio is the strip connecting Flamengo and Botafogo. The short stretch is peppered with greenery and beaches, as well as spectacular views of Rio's most celebrated sites.

To the side of Flamengo beach is a lush green expanse, with large trees lining the path - Here, people can be found running, exercising, skating, roller-blading, tight-rope walking and playing cards at the typically carioca gaming tables.

All of these activities provide comical and entertaining photo opportunities - to capture the cariocas' love affair with exercise, as well as their weird and wonderful forms of recreation.
