Leblon

We took the beautiful (and high-for those who are squeamish)trip up to Sugar Loaf, floating above this massive city, surrounded by jagged mountains and hills with an amazing beach softening the edges. I fell in love with Rio watching this New ...

Today I walked around Leblon, a very affluent area of shops & maximum security housing complexes with pistol toting guards that growl at you if you peer through the gates. Seemed a strange, if sadly necessary place to live. I have yet to see any of ...

... room rate and are rewarded with an entire suite overlooking Rio's famous beaches. The view out our hotel window is of Leblon, Ipanamema, and Copacabana's glorious lengths of wide sandy beaches, where it seems the entire city is hanging out on this ...

... (which despite its popularity is quite disappointing really with all its rubbish layered in the sand), Ipanema (a little less touristy) to Leblon (where the more posh locals hang). We walked down the beach and settled into a small spot beside an empty ...

... balls at venues around the city, the most well known one being the Scala Gay Gala Ball held at a traditional dance hall in Leblon. We had to have tickets to the hottest gig in town. Rio´s gay community, largely localized in Ipanema is neither out nor ...

... 305;r. Jardim Botanico Latin Amerika'nın en büyük botanik parkıymış. 17.00'de kapandığı için Leblon'dan önce oraya gidelim diyoruz. Yanımda sinkov var, tabi ki. Dünyanın her yerinden ağaçlar var. Ya ...

... in which you reside. Eschewing the dubious delights of Copacanbana, we elected to stay in the reputedly far more upper class Leblon area, these two districts sandwiching Ipanema. To be perfectly honest, we expected it to be a bit tacky, dirty and ...

Takze jsem se prestehovala na vejminek do Ipanemy, udajne s Leblonem nejvic hip a sik ctvrti Ria. Ma hlavni kriteria byla 1)blizkost plaze - takze je zima, pod mrakem a prsi a 2) zadne schody. Obvolala jsem nekolik hostelu a vsude meli jen misto nahore v ...

... Lauren onto Leblon beach to watch the sun go down and make that final sand castle before bed. The days were spent on Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana beaches - watching a phenomenal level of talent at beach football. Every kid, boy and girl, are avid ...

... and my mom decided to sleep at the hotel because she felt sick, so I spent most of the day walking down the Leblon and Ipanama beaches, talking to tourists and locals alike, and trying different drinks (i.e. Guarana and Guaraviton.) As you can see by ...
