Look at this amazing service for all us beach and sunshine lovers. It will tell you exactly what PFS to use depending on your skin color.

It resides on the sidewalk on Copacabana near Posto 5. On that particular day, 30 pfs was recommended for light skins and 15 for darker skin tones. It also told us that the water was not exactly recommended for swimming and that the temperature was 28 C.

Birds of the Lagoa

Here are some of the birds you will see on your walk around the Lagoa


The diver in all his glory
He is a Bigua,  (Neotropic Cormorant)



Marreco do bico vermelho
ou Frango d´agua (Common Moorhen)




And we all love the coconuts




See what I mean?







This bird fetches careless
swimmers out of the ocean



And these provide tours of the Lagoa




Aren't they elegant?
Garça-branca-grande (Great Egret)
Socó-grande (Cocoi Heron)




This little guy is called João de
barro. (Rufous Hornero) You can see his nest on the
side of Ipanema by the lake

All the birds in a row, Biguás

He looks like a little old man, doesn't he?
He is a Savacu, a Black-crowned Night Heron

Good luck in your bird watching
