Even
more irresistible than the muse who inspired the "Girl from Ipanema"
- the song which immortalized both her and her neighborhood - there is
no doubt that Ipanema is a famous meeting point in Rio de Janeiro. This
sophisticated district offers a lively night life scene with an enticing
blend of beach, bars and boutiques. A major attraction throughout the
day, its sands also welcome countless after-dark visitors, including joggers
and other athletes who cluster at its kiosks, pedal along the bicycle
path and make good use of special lighting to exercise and relax. Thanks
to its multi-faceted lifestyle, Ipanema truly reflects the Carioca spirit
of the people of Rio, welcoming visitors eager to join in the fun.
