The south zone of Rio de Janeiro is called "Zona Sul" or the south zone. Filled
with hotels, restaurants, bars and stores it is also home to the most famous
beach in the world, the Copacabana.
Life is vibrant here. Like ants, thousands of people make their way to and
from the beach. Either just strolling along or exercising along the wavey
Avenida Atlantica on rollerskates, jogging or on bicycle and also groups of
brazilians doing Capoeira the famous Brazilian martial art.
The sand expands out about 4 km from east to west, but the principal property
of the Copa is it's great wide strech. The government has raised volleyball nets
and beach football courts which are frequently used, especially after the
hottest period from 11-13.

having a healthy and well fit body, and Rio's lifesaving towers, offering
freshwater showers against that sticky salt.

the Copacabana fort, you will pass several restaurants and small beach bars.

living offering bracelets, shirts, towels, drinks, and so on to the turists of Rio
de Janeiro. You will find several nice gifts to bring home, and be happy that
you helped some of the poor people of Rio.
