I don’t think there is another song that so enchanted the world back in mid 1960′s than The Girl From Ipanema. Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes co-wrote the song in 1962 and it was a perfect for the time as any smash hit today. And what exactly inspired the song? Well, some say it was Heloisa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto (I know, they have more names than you can shake a stick at) a 15 year old who strolled past the cafe where the two song writers hung out. I’ve been there, know how the girls walk down to the beach every morning and yes, inspiration flows. And we all know what Brazilian females look like. Ai Carumba! But let’s chat about the beach - Ipanema.

Ipanema Beach is considered one of the most beautiful in the world and was made famous by the song The Girl from Ipanema. This area has always played a role in the culture of Rio de Janeiro. Ipanema beach is lined with tents selling food and drink and renting beach chairs. One good place, run by Jorge, is located between Postos 9 & 10, right in front of the Caesar Park hotel. Ipanema beach is a lot nicer and we have been going there nearly every day. It is exactly as I had always imagined Copacabana beach to be, full of beautiful Brazilian people with the girls in very skimpy bikinis.
