The visit to the Urca neighborhood was wonderful. Spending the afternoon in this place is truly a magical experience! First on the beautiful red beach with good drinks and lots of sun. Then walking around the neighborhood, admiring the views and enjoying the sunset while speaking Portuguese with my schoolmates! Thank you Rio & Learn!
