What to do and see in Botafogo, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Beaches

March 27, 2022 Mollie Coke

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Vermelha Beach

Reviewed By victordN8148MQ

This beach is surrounded by green. The sea is very deep. If you take 3 steps, you go underwater ahah There are " barracas" ( tents or huts) on the beach where vendors rent beach umbrella,chairs, food and beverages. I recommend that you don't go to this beach on weekends because it's full of people. Near this beach, there is a trail and it takes about 15 to 20 minutes . Praia vermelha is close to Sugar Loaf Mountain where you can take a cable car to reach the top of the mountain.
