Planning to go to Rio de Janeiro, and trying to imagine what Copacabana beach is like? The south zone of Rio de Janeiro is called “Zona Sul” or the south zone. Filled with hotels, restaurants, bars and stores it is also home to the most famous beach in the world, the Copacabana.

Life is vibrant here. Like ants, thousands of people make their way to and from the beach. Either just strolling along or exercising along the wavey Avenida Atlantica on rollerskates, jogging or on bicycle.
