The Perfect Sunday in Rio Starts at the Hippie Fair

Sunday in Rio de Janeiro has its own unique rhythm. The frantic energy of the work week dissolves, replaced by a collective, city-wide sigh of relaxation. It’s a day for the beach, for long lunches, and for leisurely strolls. And for generations of Cariocas and in-the-know travelers, the heart of a perfect Ipanema Sunday is found at the Feira Hippie de Ipanema—the legendary Hippie Fair.
