Rio de Janeiro and My Favorite Spots

Rio de Janeiro and My Favorite Spots

Yes, its time to celebrate . Opening of  2014 World Cup was today in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Brazil 3 x 1 Croatia, everyone is happy and the stadium in Sao Paulo didn’t fall.  This Sunday, June 15th Maracana stadium will be holding the first soccer game in Rio for the World Cup, lots of tourists in town so I feel like  sharing some  of my favorites spots in Rio, they are beautiful and free of charge. Its a perfect combination between mountain and ocean.

1- Paineiras

If there is a place in Rio that makes me feel really close to God, that place is Paineiras, being there is just the most amazing and spiritual connection I could ever have with the higher power. Nature is everywhere, its the kind of place  where you are able to see all your problems in life with a bright perspective, you can even get creative  and believe me, your imagination will flow, its such a peaceful and happy place. I could easily call Paineiras my temple in Rio. Its also very close to the Corcovado and Vista Chinesa if you feel like extending your tour.  I posted the photo below on my Instagram account and I received a comment from Espaco Paineiras and I was told that anyone could rent bikes for free, thats cool. I haven’t tried but you can get more info using this link. http://www.paineirascorcovado.com.br/espaco-paineiras/#

So after your visit to Paineiras you feel like driving to the Vista Chinesa, as I spontaneouly did last week when I was in Rio, you can have this view.

Some people will probably say its not save to go to Vista Chinesa at night, but I got there right after sunset and I saw a lot of people and  some cops, I felt safe.

2 – Ipanema Beach

I know, very touristy but its just so beautiful, and romantic, and sexy, and nice, and if you go during the week when everybody is working can be fantastically calm. No vendors, no people fighting for space near the water. Its also so close to nice restaurants and stores, fresh juices being sold in every corner, acai….  plus the sidewalk with those fantastic sculptured bodies exercising is always a nice plus.  When I used to live in Ipanema one of my main questions was if I should ride my bike in Ipanema Beach or lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, another beautiful place to visit, what a painful decision, heheheh!!!!
