Itacuruca'-Alibi
Many of you may want (or need) some diversity on your visit to Rio. One of the best, day trips, is a "fishing" expedition to nearby Itacuruca. A quick 95km (1-1.5 hours) outside of Rio and you can be on a vessel designed to accommodate groups of 2-100. Whether it be sightseeing, strolling along a deserted island beach or getting in a little fishing during your vacation. This sleepy little seaside fishing village has a well equipped marina and a very complete line of vessels available.
If you have "company" there are several boats in the 32-45 foot range, complete with onboard facilities that can take you to the many islands nearby offshore or private beaches where you can stroll in powdery sand. (Note: many of the girls may never have been on a boat and approximately 70% of them do not know how to swim. Make sure your boat is equipped with noodle bouys (called macaroni) and be prepared to jump in and rescue someone if necessary.) Most of the captains/boats are girl friendly, come with English speaking guides and have no trouble with nudity on board or breaking away for a session below deck.
