I consider Bar do David perfectly save to visit, but a Dutch tourist eating at the restaurant got shot in the belly (I think in Dezember 2018) when there were a shootout between PM and bandits. Usually the bandits have a guy with a machinegun keeping watch 10 metres from the restaurant.
Regarding "scoring local tail" in Chapéu Mangueira. There are plenty of pretty girls passing by the restaurant. Smile and say "Oi" but be very careful trying to score "local tails" in favelas. Most pretty girls in the favelas do have boyfriends.

Posts: 2193The water is so bad at Copa that it is noticably thicker with shit when it is warmer.
Barra posto 1-7 is where you want to be to swim in the ocean.

Posts: 235I am going crazy
My first trip back to Rio in over a year. Can anyone tell me where I can find a 18 year old college student that's desperate for money. I'm looking for a blond about 5 ft 4 in.
OK you can unclench your jaw, loosen your fist and stop pounding your desk. This was my attempt at a little humor. I normally make at least 5 trips to SA a year. I have been spending a lot of time in Colombia. Looks like Columbia may be going into a civil war. Friends that live in Bogota tell me not to come down. They say it is as dangerous as they have ever seen it. Looking around SA, some countries just do not want tourists. Brazil is different. Brazil needs the tourist dollar and the big shots in the government could care less about covid19 deaths. I have had 2 madira shots and what the hell. My little buddy Spike says go for it.
I read this site daylie. If it wasn't for ISG I would of jumped off a bridge long ago. Preparing for this trip I reread about 20 pages just to get caught up. When your planning a trip it's fun to reread at least 20-30 pages. I do have a few questions. While in Rio in the evening I always enjoyed Setting on a walkway bench at the beach watching the young kids play soccer or the one I like the best is when they play volleyball but don't use their hands only their feet or their head. These kids have so much talent. I read some time ago that due to covid 19 the beach for locals playing sports was closed. That would be a disappointment. Anyone have a comment on this.
Also normally I stay at the Real Residents Hotel. I wonder if they are still open. But really it doesn't matter. There are so many great bargains on AIRBNB I may try an entire new area in copa.
Ok if anyone can help me with that little blond I'm looking- aw forget it I will be there in 2 weeks so I Will find a blond myself.

They rate all the beaches in Rio daily. I wouldn't trust them blindly, but that's some reference. The good thing is you don't have to choose. If you stay close to Arpoador, you can always go left (Copa) or go right (Ipa). Consult the website daily.

We'll see if anything changes in the near future.

Fwiw the water gets cleaner as you go further South. Ipanema is cleaner than Copa but the current is very strong. If you want a nice swimmable clean beach, Barra may be better yet.

Posts: 2041You can literally roll out of bed and on to the beach, when you stay in Copacabana (or Ipanema). I don't think you can do that at Transamerica. There are two reasons to go to Copacabana Beach. It is a crowded beach when the weather is good. I'm not looking for seclusion when I go to the beach. More people, more garotas! The socioeconomic characteristics of Copa also make it more plausible that you will be able to strike up a connection with a local girl. It's not as easy when Hooker Beach was right in front of the Rio Othon, but it is possible. Just smile and say Hello, to every garota.
Barra is a nicer beach, but it is sprawling compared to Copa and Ipanema.

Posts: 6400Copa or Barra?
I concur with Rio Bob and Xpartan. For a first or short trip, Copa is the better choice. Vagabundo's situation and experience is far different from that possessed by first-time visitor to Rio de Janeiro. If you want something a little nicer than Copa that would also work well, then first or short-timers can go with Ipanema or "Ipa". Both Copa and Ipa are highly recommended for the first-timer. At least by The Cane they are LOL!
