even though these
islands are located
within the city, from
ipanema
or
copacabana
it still takes about two hours each way to get to them, so
spending one night at a
local
pousada
might be a good idea.
there are a few
options on the nearby
beach of barra de guaratiba
that could be useful for visitors who wish to spend a
couple of days in the area.
mostly inhabited by local fishermen, a stay in a
pousada
in this neighborhood can be precious to anyone interested in
discovering rio and her many beauties - and this would make it
even feel like a vacation within the vacation,
and a chance to also explore
rio's aventure beaches.
