Rio De Janeiro, Brazil: Copacabana And Ipanema"Rio." The name summons images of impossibly beautiful people decorating sweeping beaches with domes of granite in the background. This is Rio’s Zona Sul, or South Zone - but Zona Sul is so much more. Stroll past trendy clothing and shoe stores, or window-shop outside the high-end jewelry stores, then refresh yourself at the restaurant where the song "The Girl from Ipanema" was written. If you enjoy the simpler pleasures, sip from a chilled coconut by the lake, strike up a conversation with the vendor at the newspaper stand, linger over a deliciously rich cup of coffee, or sit at the beach and marvel at the amazing game of "foot volley". Nestled between tree-shrouded cliffs and the shimmering South Atlantic, Rio’s South Zone should be visited at least once.
