The music from a nearby barraca pumps and I\u2019m yet again trying really hard not to succumb to yet another ice-cold coconut water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0877.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0877-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_0877\" class=\"wp-image-55026\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is just another beautiful day of walking along the cal\u00e7ada (walkway) on the iconic Ipanema beach in Rio\u2019s Zona Sul. Soaking up the Brazilian sun could not get any better than this so who in their right mind would want this to be cut short?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government aka \u201cthe fun police\u201d have once again pumped up the prevalence of \u201cQue Isso?!\u201d (What the heck?!) in the everyday Brazilian vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0895.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0895-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_0895\" class=\"wp-image-55033\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only just by separating the walkways of two of Rio\u2019s most famous neighbouring beaches, Ipanema and Copacabana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as you think you can easily beach hop along the sands of these two beaches blessed by the gods, think again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of unsuspecting walkers of the two famous walkways are brutally disappointed when their stroll is abruptly cut short at the Ipanema-Copacabana border crossing. Instead of being able to walk around the beautiful rocky coastline, they instead have to endure an abundance of petrol fumes and angry taxi drivers in order to get to the other beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0889.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0889-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_0889\" class=\"wp-image-55030\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even I had the unfortunate occurrence of being one of the many heartbroken pedestrians that was swiftly taken away from the sculpted abs and bicycles back into the concrete jungle that I thought I had escaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the question begs \u2013 why is there still no coastal walk between Ipanema and Copacabana?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the Forte de Copacabana (Fort Copacabana) is not to be messed with or perhaps the Pedra do Arpoador (Arpoador Rock) provides way too many great Instagram opportunities to even think about building a coastal walk around it. Whatever the reason being, and for the sake of Rio\u2019s tourism landscape, an investigation must be sought!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0890.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0890-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_0890\" class=\"wp-image-55031\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It would definitely be fair to say that Ipanema and Copacabana have never failed to please. I mean, who hasn\u2019t heard of Vinicius de Morais\u2019s legendary song, Garota de Ipanema? Also, If you look at other famous beaches around the globe, you will notice that most will be blessed with lengthy coastal walks for the locals and tourists to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iconic Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia has its very own four-kilometre coastal walk that stretches over three of its neighbouring beaches in total. It has proven to be a massive crowd pleaser in terms of the tourism and attention it brings. So POR FAVOR, Rio!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make matters even more baffling, I dare you to take a look at how much the Brazilian government dropped on the Olympic Games this summer. According to the Olympic Public Authority, a mere $7 billion was spent on the Olympic stadiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0880.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0880-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_0880\" class=\"wp-image-55027\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, after you\u2019ve picked up your jaw up off of the floor, you can now shout to the heavens above why oh why Rio couldn\u2019t spare a couple of bucks for a nice little beachside walkway that would make everyone (especially me) a much happier Gringo\/Carioca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, after all the intense clawing and gnawing to get some answers, I finally got one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the Pol\u00edcia Militar having control over the Arpoador area and the Forte de Copacabana, the government put it quite simply:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0885.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0885-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_0885\" class=\"wp-image-55029\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe environmental protection area (APA) of Copacabana and Arpoador promontories was created by the Municipal Law to protect its rocky coast and native plant life species. The APA has the Copacabana Fort and the \u201cGirl from Ipanema Park\u201d as the boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you have it. Looks like we\u2019re going to have to write a passive aggressive letter to the government or do a cheeky little bit of Jeitinho (the \u201cBrazilian way\u201d of sorting out a problem in whatever way possible if you get my drift). Anyway, there are always more important issues to tackle so let\u2019s not get too carried away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0881.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0881-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_0881\" class=\"wp-image-55028\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But one last POR FAVOR (please) won\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you would like to get to know Rio\u2019s Zona Sul in a more interactive way or would just like to improve your Carioca g\u00edria (slang), why don\u2019t you check out the Portuguese language programs at Caminhos Language Centre.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information available at <a href=\"http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/\">http:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of tourists are disappointed when they see they can&#8217;t cross the Ipanema-Copacabana coastal border by foot.
