In comparisson to Copacabana beach or Ipanema beach, we can say its a family atmosphere beach.

Putting an end to the Leblon beach coastline, Rio de Janeiro, (always on the opposite side of Ipanema), we have the "Morro Dois Irmãos", one of the many charming and caracteristic mountains of Río de Janeiro. "Irmãos" stands for "brothers" in portuguese, and gets that name due to the to very similar twin peaks of this "morro", hill.
