Ipanema is a neighborhood located on the southern region of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between Leblon and Arpoador. The beach at Ipanema became widely known by the song "The Girl from Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema"), written by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
Most of the land that Ipanema consists of today once belonged to José Antonio Moreira Filho, Baron of Ipanema. The word "Ipanema" comes from the old Tupi language, meaning "bad water". In this case, it means bad for fishing, since the waves die too close to the sand, pushing fish away.
Ipanema gained fame with the start of the bossa nova sound, when its residents Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes created their ode to their neighborhood, "Girl from Ipanema." The song was written in 1962, with music by Jobim and Portuguese lyrics by de Moraes with English lyrics written later by Norman Gimbel.
Ipanema is adjacent to Copacabana beach, but it is distinct from its neighbor. It is relatively easy to navigate because the streets are aligned in a grid. Private infrastructure has created world-class restaurants, shops, and cafes. Ipanema is one of the most expensive places to live in Rio. At the forefront of the beach culture are the many surfers and sun worshippers who socialize daily at the beach. Every Sunday, the roadway closest to the beach is closed to motor vehicles and local residents and tourists use the opportunity to ride bikes, roller skate, skateboard, and walk along the ocean.
Ipanema has played its own role in Rio's culture since its beginning. It has universities, art galleries, theaters and cafes.
Ipanema holds its own street parade during Carnival festivities, separate from Rio de Janeiro's. Banda de Ipanema attracts up to 15,000 people to the streets of Ipanema for Carnival.
It is famously known for its elegance and social qualities. Two mountains called the "Dois Irmãos" (Two Brothers) rise at the western end of the beach. The beach is divided into segments by marks known as "postos" (lifeguard towers). Beer is sold everywhere on the beach along with the traditional cachaça. There are always circles of people playing football, volleyball, and footvolley, a combination sport of volleyball and football originated in Brazil.
In the winter the surf can reach 9 feet. The water quality varies with days of light-blue water to a more murky green after heavy rains. Constant swells keep the water clean. The often treacherous beach break regularly forms barrels.
One interesting thing about Ipanema's beach is that there is an area called "the gay beach," situated near Rua Farme de Amoedo; which is well-known for being a gay-friendly area, with the rainbow flag floating in the air.
Just west of this colorful section and towards Leblon is another popular stretch of sand known as Posto Nove (aptly named after the 9th lifeguard tower) where young and often beautiful carioca men and women hipsters congregate.
The Travel Channel listed Ipanema Beach as the sexiest beach in the world.
The sun leans gently into the horizon, painting the dunes in liquid gold. A woman stands still, rooted like an ancient tree, yet light as wind. Her silhouette dances with the fading light, a quiet hymn to the setting day. The sand cradles her steps, tracing stories soon to be swept away by the whispers of the evening breeze.
In this fleeting moment, time dissolves. The mountains bow in the distance, and the sky hums softly, wrapping the earth in warmth. The delicate lace that adorns her moves like petals in the air – fragile, yet woven with strength. She stands not against nature, but with it, becoming a thread in the vast, eternal fabric of land and sky.
This is not merely sunset; it is a symphony of stillness. In the heart of Florianópolis, where the dunes stretch like ocean waves, the ordinary melts into the extraordinary. The dance of shadow and light leaves behind an unspoken truth – that beauty exists in the quiet, the pause, the breath between one step and the next.

O sol repousa suavemente no horizonte, pintando as dunas com ouro líquido. Uma mulher permanece imóvel, enraizada como uma árvore antiga, mas leve como o vento. Sua silhueta dança com a luz que se apaga, um hino silencioso ao dia que se despede. A areia acolhe seus passos, traçando histórias que logo serão apagadas pelos sussurros da brisa noturna.
Nesse instante fugaz, o tempo se dissolve. As montanhas se curvam à distância, e o céu canta baixo, envolvendo a terra em calor. A renda delicada que a veste se move como pétalas no ar – frágil, mas tecida com força. Ela não está contra a natureza, mas com ela, tornando-se um fio no vasto e eterno tecido entre terra e céu.
Este não é apenas um pôr do sol; é uma sinfonia de quietude. No coração de Florianópolis, onde as dunas se estendem como ondas do mar, o ordinário se dissolve no extraordinário. A dança de luz e sombra deixa uma verdade não dita – a beleza existe no silêncio, na pausa, na respiração entre um passo e o próximo.

You really don't want to know what vajazzling is. Google it if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you.
Ipanema è un quartiere della Zona Sul (zona sud) della città brasiliana di Rio de Janeiro nello stato omonimo.
La spiaggia di IpanemaFondato nel 1894, è una delle zone più ricche della città carioca insieme ai vicini quartieri di Leblon, Jardim Botanico e Gavea. È il metro quadrato più costoso dell'America del Sud.
Il territorio di Ipanema confina con i quartieri di Leblon e Copacabana. L'amenità del luogo deriva dal fatto di trovarsi tra l'oceano atlantico e la laguna Rodrigo Freitas.
Al quartiere e alla sua celebre spiaggia sull'oceano è dedicata la canzone Garota de Ipanema ("la ragazza di Ipanema"), una delle più famose del movimento musicale della bossa nova e della Música Popular Brasileira (MPB). Fu composta da Antonio Carlos Jobim e Vinícius de Moraes nel 1962.
Leblon (named after a French plantation owner, Le Blond, who owned this area) is an affluent neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, just west of Ipanema, another neighborhood in that city. In the north it is bordered by Gávea, and in the west by a towering hill called "Dois Irmãos", which translates as "two brothers", because of its split peak.
It's very much like Ipanema but even more exclusive, being the home of very rich, affluent and famous people. The beach is a bit more quiet and relaxed than the hip and trendy beach of Ipanema. Sometimes, although, it is not recommended for bath by the authorities, especially after rainy days.
The neighborhood has the highest land prices of Brazil and Latin America. Consequently, the many beautiful houses in the neighborhood were torn down to make way for high-rise apartments. Very few houses remain in Leblon. Most of Leblon's charm was destroyed with the destruction of its houses, which also occurred in Ipanema and Copacabana.

Sugarloaf Mountain (in Portuguese, Pão de Açúcar), is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from the mouth of Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean. Rising 396 metres (1,299 ft) above boats that come into the harbor, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar. However, it is believed by some that the name actually derives from Pau-nh-acuqua (“high hill”) in the Tupi-Guarani language, as used by the indigenous Tamoios.
The mountain is only one of several monolithic morros of granite and quartz that rise straight from the water's edge around Rio de Janeiro. A glass-paneled cable car (in popular Portuguese, bondinho - more properly called teleférico), capable of holding 75 passengers, runs along a 1400-meter route between the peaks of Pão de Açúcar and Cara de Cão every 20 minutes. The original cable car line was built in 1912 and rebuilt around 1972/1973 in its current form. The cable car goes from the base, not the peak of the Babilônia mountain, to the Urca mountain and then to the Pão de Açúcar mountain.

Il Pan di Zucchero (in portoghese Pão de Açúcar) è un colle situato presso Rio de Janeiro, in Brasile, su una penisola che si estende da un estremo della Baia Guanabara all'interno dell'Oceano Atlantico. Con la sua altezza di 396 m sul livello del mare, deve il suo nome secondo alcuni alla sua somiglianza con un dolce tradizionale. Secondo altre fonti il nome deriverebbe dal termine Pau-nh-acuqua che, nel linguaggio Tupi-Guarani parlato dagli indigeni Tamoios, significa "alta collina".
Il rilievo è solo uno dei parecchi monoliti che si elevano dal livello del mare attorno a Rio de Janeiro, tra cui i picchi Babilônia e Urca.
Dal 1913 è raggiungibile grazie ad una funivia (Bondinho).
