Everyone wants to visit it and everyone always falls in love with it. But it was not always like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 19th century, people used to see Copacabana as an inhospitable and unhealthy sandy area. The only group of people who lived there were fishermen and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1892 the government built a tunnel \u2014 now T\u00fanel Alaor Prata \u2014 connecting Copacabana and the city center of Rio. Following that, during the first years of the 20th century, a tram line was linking Copacabana to other neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro. That was when people started to visit the south area of Rio, embracing the white sand, blue water, cool breeze and amazing weather of Copacabana Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/copacabana-beach-rio-de-janeiro\/#Curiosities_about_Copacabana_Beach\" >Curiosities about Copacabana Beach<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/copacabana-beach-rio-de-janeiro\/#Copacabana_Beach_promenade\" >Copacabana Beach promenade<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/copacabana-beach-rio-de-janeiro\/#The_golden_sand_of_Copacabana_Beach\" >The golden sand of Copacabana Beach<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/copacabana-beach-rio-de-janeiro\/#Choosing_the_name_for_Copacabana\" >Choosing the name for Copacabana<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/copacabana-beach-rio-de-janeiro\/#Carlos_Drummond_de_Andrades_monument\" >Carlos Drummond de Andrade\u2019s monument<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/copacabana-beach-rio-de-janeiro\/#The_2016_Summer_Olympics\" >The 2016&nbsp;Summer&nbsp;Olympics<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/copacabana-beach-rio-de-janeiro\/#New_Years_Eve_in_Copacabana_Beach\" >New Year\u2019s Eve in&nbsp;Copacabana Beach<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Curiosities_about_Copacabana_Beach\"><\/span>Curiosities about Copacabana Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Copacabana_Beach_promenade\"><\/span>Copacabana Beach promenade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/copacabana-beach-70s.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/copacabana-beach-70s-e1581537559383.jpg\" alt=\"copacabana beach 70s\" class=\"wp-image-76441\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Copacabana Beach promenade is the most famous promenade in the world. It was first built in 1906 by Mayor Pereira Passos. He had the idea for its design inspired by Rocio\u2019s Square in Lisbon. In fact, all stones used to built Copacabana\u2019s promenade came from Portugal. The waves in the promenade were perpendicular to the sea by then. Years later, Mayor Paulo de Frontin\u2019s administration decided to renovate the promenade, designing the curves in a way that it would follow the ocean\u2019s flow. The promenade is 4km long, from Leme to Forte de Copacabana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_golden_sand_of_Copacabana_Beach\"><\/span>The golden sand of Copacabana Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The huge strip of sand bordering Copacabana Beach is not the result of a natural process. During the \u201970s, a huge renovation was made in Copacabana and a large land reclamation increased the area of the beach. This was not only a good thing for beachgoers, but authorities were able to better organize the sewage system and control flood in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_name_for_Copacabana\"><\/span>Choosing the name for Copacabana<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Copacabana was called Sacopenap\u00e3 until the end of the 18th century.

Copacabana also has a cute nickname: Little Princess of the Sea (\u201cPrincesinha do Mar\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carlos_Drummond_de_Andrades_monument\"><\/span>Carlos Drummond de Andrade\u2019s monument<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/carlos-drummond-de-andrade-copacabana-beach.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/carlos-drummond-de-andrade-copacabana-beach.jpg\" alt=\"carlos drummond de andrade copacabana beach\" class=\"wp-image-76442\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlos Drummond de Andrade was a famous writer and poet from Brazil.
