Ipanema
Copacabana's neighboring shore
Ipanema is a wealthy beachside neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, famous for its stretch of sandy beach and the 1962 bossa nova song "The Girl from Ipanema." The name evokes Brazilian beach culture, glamour, and leisure: We spent the afternoon on Ipanema beach.
