Mirror is a club bringing a touch of Vegas dazzle to the Rio club scene. The sophisticated club is set across two floors and a smoking balcony overlooking the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Every night the club pulsates to a purely electronic soundtrack served up by some of the biggest Rio-based DJs, including Rafael Nazareth, Carol Legally and Junior Campos, playing their tunes on a giant, see-through touchscreen. The mainstream house hits are all well covered, while the visual accompaniment is up to beautiful go-go dancers with futuristic glow-in-the-dark costumes and frighteningly flexible circus performers.

While Copacabana wins out as the most picture-perfect city beach in Rio, Ipanema is easily the more chic of the two neighboring stretches of sand. There are scores of kiosks selling tempting food and drink, too. The towering twin peaks of the Dois Irmaos (two brothers) mountains frames the beach scene in spectacular fashion.

It is located west of Ipanema. In the north, it is bordered by Gávea and, in the west, by a towering hill called Dois Irmãos, which translates as "two brothers", because of its split peak.
Leblon is adjacent to Ipanema but more exclusive, being the home of rich and famous people. The beach is quieter and more relaxed than the hip and trendy beach of Ipanema.
