Enjoy a Beach Day
A trip to Rio without experiencing the magic of the seaside is incomplete. A day at the beach can be relaxing as you walk along the scenic promenades, rejuvenate with the refreshing sea breeze, and experience stretches of white sand. There’s more fun at the beaches with parasol-shaded sun loungers and games like beach volleyball and tennis. Get ready to have fun with your family as you relax at chic beaches like Ipanema Beach or Copacabana Beach.
