Rio de Janeiro Vacations, Brazil
Description: Who could forget the girl from Ipanema? The song was inspired by a specific girl, but one of many trendy and beautiful Brazilian locals. Ipanema is the birthplace of provocative beach wear for both men and women, like the infamous G-String, which is now worn by beach goers world wide. The beach is white and long, with cold, sapphire water that comes as a great relief from the intense heat of the blazing sun. After an electrifying day at the beach, head to Rua Vin¡cius de Morais for great nightlife and restaurants. The seafood is fresh and delicious, and comes highly recommended.
