🇧🇷 | Weekend Boardwalk Tour in Copacabana | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | ⁴ᴷ⁶⁰

Copacabana was called Sacopenapã until the end of the 18th century. Only after the construction of Our Lady of Copacabana church, the neighborhood was officially called Copacabana. Sacopenapã in Tupi language means “path of birds”. Copacabana also has a cute nickname: Little Princess of the Sea (“Princesinha do Mar”).
Copacabana Beach promenade is the most famous promenade in the world. It was first built in 1906 by Mayor Pereira Passos. He had the idea for its design inspired by Rocio’s Square in Lisbon. In fact, all stones used to built Copacabana’s promenade came from Portugal. The waves in the promenade were perpendicular to the sea by then. Years later, Mayor Paulo de Frontin’s administration decided to renovate the promenade, designing the curves in a way that it would follow the ocean’s flow. The promenade is 4km long, from Leme to Forte de Copacabana.
