Read the law on the official website of the President of the Russian FederationFour-kilometer beach Copacabana, located in the bay where history once began Rio de Janeiro - one of the most famous beaches in the world. The adjacent area of the same name was considered very prestigious a few decades ago: representatives of Brazilian bohemians, politicians and the rich settled here. But due to increased last years crime reputation Copacabana began to deteriorate, and the local elite moved to more prosperous parts of the city.
But even today Copacabana(Copacabana) — iconic place in life Rio de Janeiro. Being the center of party life, the famous beach, as before, attracts thousands of vacationers from all over the world. In 2006, the legendary Rolling Stones concert took place here, attracting two million people. And also Copacabana famous for the fact that this is where the fashion for two-piece swimsuits - bikinis - came from.
Runs parallel to the beach along its entire length Avenida Atlantica (Avenida Atlantica) is an embankment consisting of several traffic lanes, a bicycle path and the famous Portuguese sidewalk, tiled in a wavy pattern. Mosaic wave is one of the symbols Rio de Janeiro: it is actively depicted on T-shirts, beach bags, pareos and souvenirs, symbolizing involvement in this city. IN Sundays One side of the Avenida Atlantica is closed off, and it seems as if the whole city flocks here to take a stroll, jog or bike ride.
The beach itself Copacabana made a rather strange impression on me. A strip of sand, a few steps away from it, noisy highway and the harsh multi-story buildings towering above it all. No shabby coconut palm tree, no languidly swaying sail on the horizon... A typical city beach with all that it implies - noise, crowds of people and public transport spewing exhaust fumes.
After a minute of being on the beach, it became clear that, by and large, there was nothing for me to do here. The water in the ocean turned out to be cold by my standards, the people in it were like in the Moscow metro at rush hour, and huge waves, periodically mixing the brethren floundering in them into one heap, finally convinced me that I took the swimsuit with me completely in vain.
It took another five minutes to study the situation. Beach Copacabana infamous big amount thefts, and a considerable part of them are committed in a rather crude form: valuable things are snatched from their owners directly from the hands. But it was impossible to leave such an epic place without at least a couple of photos, and I decided to take a risk. Having hung the camera around my neck and clutching it as hard as I could, I began hastily filming everything that appeared within my line of sight. I didn’t dare move along the beach in search of something interesting, preferring to stay in one place, closer to the police box across the road. The lion stood nearby, taking on the appearance of a man ready to repel any possible attack with lightning speed :).
Actually shoot on Copacabana, except people, there is nothing - beautiful views Somehow they don’t look good in the photo. But the people here are wonderful: photogenic, not afraid of cameras (just like my favorite Asians!), and, most importantly, everyone is on their own wavelength. As a result of five minutes of surveillance through the lens, it was established that all of them - Copacabana vacationers - are divided into four types.
Type one— leisurely strollers.
Type two- jogging.
Type three— sitting on folding chairs.
In general, as far as I have managed to understand, owning a folding chair is the sacred duty of every self-respecting resident Rio de Janeiro. The landlady where we rented a room, an elderly lady who lived surrounded by four cats, also had such a chair: it stood in the hallway and, being in a state of full combat readiness, was waiting to go out into the world.
And finally fourth type Copacabana vacationers - playing some kind of ball games.
Of course, one could also mention the category of citizens who went to fight the ocean wave, but since upon reaching land they are immediately reincarnated as a representative of one of the above-mentioned groups, so as not to bring confusion into such an ideal Copacabana classification, created by me, Let's leave them alone - let them wallow in peace and get sand in their pants.
There were simply a lot of interesting characters on the beach, and from this point of view Copacabana- an interesting place. If it weren’t for worrying about the camera, I could have sat here for several hours in a row, just looking around. But just a few minutes later, the situation around us began to thicken - the number of suspicious individuals passing nearby, as if by chance, increased, and we, realizing that the fifth category of people with cameras had no place here, without really taking any pictures, hurried to retire to safer places.
Residential areas Copacabana They are a somewhat unnatural mixture of modern high-rise buildings and squalid, low-rise slums, located very close to each other. The windows of the apartment of that same lady with a chair and four cats looked out onto a hill on which favelas, painted in completely cheerless colors, were crowded together. At the same time, such a dubious neighborhood does not prevent the house in which her apartment is located from having an entrance that resembles a museum with exhibits in the form of vintage tables, flowerpots and paintings, and a doorman instead of a concierge. I didn’t even try to take photographs inside the blocks, so, alas, this paragraph will have to be left without pictures.
Our rented apartment in Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro
To be more precise, we did not rent an apartment, but a room in a four-room apartment: a living room, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen (read how we did it). One of the bedrooms was given to us, the hostess herself lived in the other. The kitchen, living room and toilet room were at our disposal. Heidi, the owner of the apartment, turned out to be sweetest person, so after meeting her, the small doubts that we had about whether we could share the territory with an outsider immediately disappeared. On the contrary, this factor turned out to have many advantages: firstly, we received from Heidi a lot of necessary information about the city, and secondly, she involved her neighbor, who works with currency, to exchange dollars for us at a rate that, as it turned out later, turned out to be the most beneficial throughout Rio, thirdly, she constantly fed us something tasty, and fourthly, being in contact with her, her neighbors and friends, we were able to gain a deeper insight into what was happening around us. A kind of “total immersion”.
And also, as I have mentioned more than once above, Heidi has four (!) cats, and she, out of the kindness of her heart, picked them all up from the street (those who subscribe to my Instagram, we already appreciated the trick when every day one cat was added to our room in Rio). At the same time, the apartment was in such a state that, if not for the visible presence of the cats themselves, then one would not have guessed that they lived here at all: no fur, no smells. We love animals, cats immediately understood this and regularly paid us friendly visits. Meet: red-haired KrishtOvu, with a two-color muzzle - VIOLETTA (to make it sound like Portuguese, it is important to carefully pronounce each letter I have highlighted), on Lev lies TEO. There was also ValenChina, the mother of red-haired KrishtOvu, but she preferred to hang out under the bed.
How we rented an apartment in Rio de Janeiro
As always, we began our search for housing by studying offers on the search engines booking.com and roomguru.ru (using the links a ready-made request for hotels in Rio de Janeiro was generated), but having discovered that the cost of the weakest hotels located in the depths of Copacabana surrounded favela, starts from $50 for a room with shared amenities, and from $100 for a room with its own toilet and shower, we were, to put it mildly, discouraged. In decent areas, hotel prices started at $200 per night.
This state of affairs did not suit us, and then for the first time in all our travels we decided to use one of the most popular private housing rental services today, AirBnb. The meaning of this system is that anyone has the opportunity to rent a room, apartment, house, villa - for every taste and budget - directly from the owner, while receiving much more comfortable conditions accommodation than in a hotel, for much less money. By using AirBnb we managed to rent a room in an apartment (which is described above), located in an elite house with security 500 meters from Copacabana beach for only $77 per day.
I recommend everyone who travels independently to pay attention to AirBnb: it really makes it possible to find quality housing and save a lot. And when registering for AirBnb via this link you will receive from me $35 bonus, which you can spend on renting accommodation on your next trip.
How to get to Copacabana Beach:
- by metro - line L1, stations: Cardeal Arcoverde (posts 1-3 - beginning of the beach), Sequeira Campos (posts 3-4 - middle of the beach), Cantagalo (posts 5-6 - end of the beach). The cost of one metro ride is 3.2 reais;
- by bus (from anywhere in the city) going to Copacabana or Avenida Atlantica (the fare is 3-5 reais depending on the distance).
- by taxi or car - to Avenida Atlantica.
That's all for today! I will continue my story about Rio de Janeiro- my dream come true #4!

It’s sad, but in recent decades, illegal types of income have flourished here, accompanying the development of foreign tourism, such as street robberies, drug trafficking, prostitution - all this, by no means, has added to the popularity of the once elite area.
