The beaches south of Rio de Janeiro ... and beyond

About this activity

Very often those who visit Rio imagine that the city's beaches are only those of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon. In truth, the coast is more than 50 km long, and there are beaches to the south that will surprise you!

I want to offer you a day to discover some of the most beautiful beaches on the Carioca coast but not only that: we will go to visit the wonderful Sitio Burle Marx which is about to be included in the World Heritage Site by UNESCO and we will also get to know one of the best production companies artisan cachaça, where I'm sure you won't want to miss out on tasting some of the house's delicious products.

I am a professional tourism guide, I love to tell, not just present, Rio de Janeiro in all its natural and historical uniqueness and I do it with pleasure both in my native language, Italian, and in French, Portuguese, Spanish and English .
