the combination of live rock music, bikes and the beach makes this gathering a particularly popular one. saquarema is seaside enclave with some 70,000 residents, and its own lake to boot, located a little over sixty miles east of rio de janeiro in the baixadas litorâneas, also called região dos lagos, or costa do sol. with its relaxed vibe and beautiful waterfront scenery - highlighted by the our lady of nazareth church, which sits on top of a hill jutting out into the ocean - the community puts on a wide array of cultural events year-round that vary quite a bit from the more standard new year's eve and carnaval celebrations. among other things, saquarema is known as the surf capital of brazil due to the strength, beauty and quality of its waves - and the month of may is high season for surf competitions. | january | |||
