By Franciele Lima


The beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana are definitely the focus in Rio de Janeiro. The high-rise apartments skyline hugs the shoreline upon which vibrant red and yellow umbrellas dot every visible stretch of sand. Locals and visitors alike head to the beach, especially on week-ends when the dominant activity is passing away the day by the ocean.

On the seashores, vendors are often passing by selling everything from bathing suit tops to icy beers along with leaflets for rio de janeiro penthouse apartments for rent and attractions. In fact, the most affordable and easiest way to sample Rio's most cherished foods is from a rented lounge chair right on the beach. Furthermore, both you and your companions (acompanhantes) can buy a beach towel from a passing merchant. Just wait Fifteen minutes.

The crucial ingredient of the Brazil diet program or the food that maintains rio de janeiro acompanhantes characteristically self-assured to flaunt their bodies in revealing bathing suits is the acai berry. This powerhouse Amazonian fruit is ripe with antioxidants and anti-aging attributes and many credit it with supporting weight-loss. The berry is most widely eaten as part of a fruit smoothie.

By far the most impressive of the snacks offered to sunbathers should be the skewers which come from the merchants shouldering little barbecue grills on their backs. With them are pieces of cheese that are drizzled with olive oil, flavored with oregano, cooked and served on a wood skewer.

Salgado, or salgadinho, is the title given to any kind of Brazilian pastry. Modest, round morsels of warm cheesy bread, sweet pastries, croquettes and other salty pastries can be obtained on the beach.

For an even more compact snack on the beach, both you and your RJ acompanhantes can obtain a bag of Globos. They're light, puffed O-shaped biscuits that come sweet or salty.

To quench your thirst, buy a frosty matte leao tea, a standard beverage in Rio de Janeiro. Another well-known refreshment is coconut water, sucked from straws poking out of coconuts where the tops are hacked away appropriately with machetes. The coconut is a perfect way to reduce the chances of dehydration.
