One thing that's cool about Copa beaches is that everybody and their mother goes to the beach and wears a bikini and whatnot regardless of body shape. Ipanema is a much more moneyed area so places like Posto 9 are mostly for showing off really hot bikini bodies. A more self-conscious place.

that won't make much difference now that's winter there, will it?

No such thing as winter in Rio...

It rains a couple of days and that is it...

And even the rain doesn't keep people from wearing speedos all over ipanema...

yeah but even in october the beach was pretty empty, so really the choice of beach based on each one has prettier people in bikinis winter time would be nonsense.

No, it wouldn't. Like I said, there is no "winter time" in Rio.

Regarldless of what time of the year you go, Ipanema (specially in the Posto 9 area) will always be the hang-out place for college students who want to show why they spend so much money on gym memberships...

And Copa, well, will always be Copa...

It's true. I stayed there most of winter 2005, which was FREEZING in Sao Paulo, and people were still mostly naked. The only difference in Rio is that it gets chilly during the evening, but not the day.

I would never risk taking all the documents and paperwork that were so important to decide my future on a subway. Taxi is way safer.

Not only that, but organizing yourself based on where the subway is, considering how abundant cheap taxis are (and I mean WAY cheap), strikes me as silly.

I personally don't think Ipanema is nicer, the beach in Copacabana was cleaner and the people looked nicer than in Ipanema. Maybe it was that week, don't know, but we liked Copacabana best.

This is sooo true - I liked that as well.

I was sure we WOULDN'T take a subway to the consulate because of the number of important papers in our possession. However, when it came down to it we felt there was no problem.

Botafogo, the metro, downtown was deserted when we went and everything was perfect.
