About Recreio dos Bandeirantes
Recreio dos Bandeirantes (or simply Recreio, Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁeˈkɾeju duz bɐ̃dejˈɾɐ̃tʃis]) is both the name of a beach and neighborhood in the Southwest Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a recent development, with no skyscrapers, and the area also contains jungles atop rocky cliffs and hills. High waves permit surfing at Recreio Beach and the white sand beach is used by beach volleyball players. It is about 35 km from the Rio de Janeiro city centre, and most of the people living there are middle-class and high middle-class families, who moved in trying to escape the growing violence of both the North and South Zones.
