" tip from Heitor Siquera - resident 17 years ago in Arraial da Ajuda 9. "When going to Arraial, don't miss: visiting the nudism beach, that has no nudism at all, but is really beautiful, it is a little distant and the water is great; to visit the restaurant Alchemy, it is in front of the Beco das Cores (Alley of the Colors), it has great natural cooking!!!! " tip from Raquel (RJ) 10. "Goroça Surf Bar, close to the square, in the street behind of the Lunatics, is great. I don't have a picture, but it is certainty worth to spend one night there, lot of nature and good music. One of the owners is Marcel, nice guy. Kisses" tip from Fernanda Rapoport 11. Don't take high heels, leave it home and take just slippers in the suitcase. For who intends to go to Parracho, the tip is to go barefoot. Its ground is of sand and you will be finally irritated holding the slippers, finally dropping it somewhere and loosing it". tip from Clarisse Frusca |
