What travellers are saying
- Marty BielickiStuart, FL15,893 contributionsA song made Ipanema Beach famous. The area, though, would have been famous anyway without the song due to its beauty. I would say Impanema Beach area would be my first or second choice in staying in Rio de Janeiro.
The day we were there a number of surfers where taking advantage of the reasonably high surf. There were also a good number of people enjoying the beach. It is one of those areas that one needs to make a visit.
Don't leave without taking a photo of the "Estatua de Tom Jobim." Someone was cleaver in placing an artistic statue along the walkway. Well worth a photo opp.Written 20 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ArchieGlenmoore, PA7,934 contributionsWe enjoyed our visit near copacabana Beach. We walked through an access point that took us to rocks. We climbed up for lovely scenery . It does smell bad unfortunately. The local kids were enjoying jumping into water. There was a little cove to swim. Wear sturdy shoes. Lovely views all around.Written 25 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- ZanderzaidanEast Sussex, UK535 contributionsBarra da Tijuca Beach is a fantastic spot if you're looking for a less crowded, more laid-back beach experience in Rio de Janeiro. The beach stretches for miles, offering plenty of space to spread out, relax, and enjoy the sun. Its in a more "high end" side of Rio and it felt safe and less touristy.Written 26 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jana CunhaDallas, TX13 contributionsThis is a must visit place if you’re in Rio de Janeiro.

- BeatrizMesquita, RJ12 contributionsOne of the best destinations in Rio de Janeiro because there are thousands of things to do. I visited the coldest waterfalls there and the caves too, the Gruta do Morcego is one that you can enter and the low temperature is a delight.Written 31 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- namabeerToronto, Canada584 contributionsSave your REALs rather than taking cable car up to SUGARLOAF. save $$$$ and time is to hike the first part. Fun exciting scenic and pretty easy up URCA mountain. Just walk towards past the roundabout towards the beach and the path starts there (arch and part of the National Park). It is safe to walk there. Lots of people and locals esp during day. On the hike was fun esp listening to all locals play or sing Justin Beiber (not sure why Brazilans love JB - baby baby). People go up to first level as lots of shops/restaruant and lookout and mini DJ raves esp on the weekend. Carry some water and have some good shoes when walking. Best deal is when at first level you can buy ticket up to final leg of Sugarloaf via Kiosk for discount and NO LINE UP. You can buy to go up and all the way down. Not students 1/2 price and seniors >60 are 1/2 price (65 Real). Hikers get a break too. The hike up is like 30 mins so i'd rather walk than wait in line at the bottom.
Sunset is nice at the first level. Not much diff from top of sugarloaf other than you can see Coppacabana
Sat night has tons of kids go there to hang and get their instagram shots (all dressed up).
Save your money on Sugarloaf as you will have similar higher views at Cristo de Demeer.Written 17 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There's a method to reserving, but there's a madness to the method.
There are no online reservations, and no one seems to know how it's done. My favela guide finally said you have to go in the morning in person. I did that, and it was closed. Apparently the magic hour is 10:00, preferably on a day they have tours. Not 9:00. They will be closed and the gates will be locked. Not anytime after 10:00; they will sell out very quickly.
So at 9:50, I got there and joined the queue forming in front of the locked gates, my only hint that I came at the right time. As we waited, we were at least treated to some sidewalk entertainment of a local getting into a fistfight with one of the local homeless guys, with a policeman working to diffuse the situation.
Oh and btw, some days they have tours once a day, and some days thrice. Thursday worked the best when I was there, but that could change on a dime. But whenever you go, know your Portuguese, because there is no English tour. ...except once on Saturday.Written 20 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I did not see the Red Flags and no one said anything - a few people were swimming! The weather was beautiful and the water was warm. So I waded in and within a minute, got violently smashed down on the sand, my sunglasses flew off. Ouch, it hurt! So be warned, and do not swim on Red Flag days!Written 24 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Unfortunately we only had a few minutes, would have liked to stay a little longer.Written 24 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GNS333Toronto, Canada56 contributionsOnce you are at the car park, a short walk in one direction will take you to a viewnpoint of the sugarloaf mountains. The helipad with the view of Christ the redeemer (better views than from Parque Lage in my opinion) is on the opposite side, again a short walk from the car park. Make sure you ask the driver the wait for you. We got there around 10am. There were lots of taxis and tour vans parked in the car park but there was still parking spots available. Note that there is a favela at the very bottom before you start driving up to the parking lot. We were advised not to go to this area after dark. Best you go with someone who is familiar with the area.Written 7 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom GSan Diego, CA243 contributionsRio has dozens of neighborhoods worth visiting to get a feeling for local culture, character, and color. Santa Teresa is nestled on a hillside overlooking central Rio. Known for its colonial charm and bohemian vibe, it attracts artists, musicians, and intellectuals. The narrow, winding, cobblestone streets are lined with beautifully preserved colonial houses, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.
We visited the Selarón Steps, an iconic work of art created by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón, showcasing a vibrant mosaic of tiles. A mix of tourists, artists, photographers, and locals wend their way up and around to get the best angles for photographing the most interesting (religious, humorous, outrageous cartoons). Many get to this area from the city center on the Santa Teresa Tram, a historic tramway system that has been operating since 1877.Written 23 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I found it to be less of a headache than Copacabana and less busy than Ipanema. It is one of the areas you should check out and explore when you first arrive in Rio so it stands out a bit in your memory.Written 31 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
