In the vicinity of Rio's most trendy areas (Ipanema, Leblon, Gávea, Jardim Botânico) lies the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Despite the pollution, it is the venue of countless activities. The extensive waterside Lagoon leisure complex is home to restaurants, bars, cinemas and entertainment venues, as well as a cycling path. Alternatively, you can relax on the water by hiring a pedalo.
