The beaches. The most famous beach of Brazil, Copacabana, is a great place for running with a well marked 4k bicycle lane and many "quiosques" where you can drink some coconut water. If you want a longer run, you can follow the bike track from Copacabana to Ipanema. Although near Copacabana, Ipanema has his own peculiar atmosphere. If you want to go even longer, the bicycle lane along Flamengo and Botafogo is a great choice for a "Long Run". You can run 12 miles coming from Botafogo to Santos Dumont Airport through Flamengo Park. In case it’s not enough you can go running to the quiet streets of Urca neighborhood or on the path "Pista Cláudio Coutinho" where you can enjoy great ocean view and meet some friendly little monkeys.
