Ipanema & Copacabana

Nude Beach: Ipanema & Copacabana - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Mayan Riviera has long been the erotic strip of the beach bound traveler.You is sure to find micro bikinis and thongs throng the resorts. The locals or cariocas, love beach sports and sunbathing. For beach dudes, calcaos are basic uniform; tiny sungas or Bermudas. Women clearly love variety even at the seaside, so look out for tanga(thongs),sunquinis(sunkini),asa-delta(delta-wings) and cepacols (miniscule biknis named after an oral care brand because they reach places that even dental floss cant').

Though the Ipanema beach is generally considered trendier than Copacabana and claims to be the sand strip; birth place of dental floss bikini and topless bathing.

Beware of the femme fatales on the Copacabana sands which run 5 km and so wide that it seems like a sandy park than a beach.

The strip is dotted with many hotels though none of them offers private beaches for sunbathing. Marina Palace hotel and Le Meridien Copacabana are popular with the travelers.

The best route to fly is from London to Miami to Rio de Janeiro.
