The All-Out Rio Gay Life Guide
Rio is more than just a beach resort; it's a city of more than six million people. No matter what time of the year, there will always be lots to do. True, the peak season of the gay Rio vacation is New Year’s and Carnival but that's not to say the rest of the year is dead. The Rio gay scene is centred in Ipanema, with its huge gay beach, trendy restaurants, and quite unique gay bars. The streets Teixeira de Mello and Farme de Amoedo are jam-packed with gorgeous gay guys. It’s the favourite hang out for all fashion victims, body-beautiful's and barbies. Just at the end of Rua Farme de Amoedo is the gay section of Ipanema beach. Forget about Rua Visconde da Silva in Botafogo, as you often find it on some rather out-of-date online guides; it's long died out. Ipanema, that's where it is at. Going to the beach is a cult for both gay and straight Cariocas. Rio has one of the strongest beach cultures ever seen in any coastal city around the world. That probably explains the fact there aren’t more gay night clubs and bars on the Rio gay scene - Cariocas enjoy the day too much. And the gay beach itself is like a huge gay bar/club where you can chat and cruise for hours and go swimming to boot.
After working on your suntan for a couple of hours you’ll probably feel like eating again. Although there are no gay restaurants on the sea front in Ipanema, which makes a change from Copacabana, it makes for keeping the area less commercial. However, you’ll find plenty of choices on the streets in from the seafront. You could try one of the by-kilo buffet restaurants; it’s a quick way to get and excellent meal without having to change out of swimming trunks. save
