Ipanema pictures

Ipanema is a neighborhood located on the southern region of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between Leblon and Arpoador. The beach at Ipanema became widely known by the song "The Girl from Ipanema", written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and performed by Jobim, João and Astrud Gilberto, and Stan Getz. It is famously known for its elegance and social qualities. Two mountains called the "Dois Irmãos" (Two Brothers) rise at the western end of the beach. The beach is divided into segments by marks known as "postos" (lifeguard towers). Beers are sold everywhere on the beach along with the traditional cachaça. Pronounced "kashasa", it is a sugar cane rum made in Brasil. Also known as a national drink in Brasil there is "The Caipirinha", a mix of Cachaça (or vodka) with crushed lime, sugar and ice. There are always circles of people playing football, volleyball, and footvolley, a combination sport of volleyball and football originated in Brazil.
