Ipanema
Who goes… Glamazons, playboys, and the privileged, surgically enhanced Cariocas of central Zona Sul.

Leblon
Who goes… Volleyball players, footballers, skaters, surfers, and anyone else who puts exercise above tanning.

Barra da Tijuca
Who goes… Kitesurfers, soccer stars, and very few tourists (it’s a 25-minute taxi or bus ride from Zona Sul).

Joatinga
Who goes… Rio’s cool crowd, including surfers, their hangers-on, tokers, dog-lovers, and the neighborhood’s well-to-do villa owners.

Prainha
Who goes… families and Cariocas who could care less about the see-and-be-seen scene.
