Meet Mureta da Urca

Well, I’ll tell you about one of the best places to watch the sunset in Rio de Janeiro, the Urca wall.

The wall is in one of the best preserved neighborhoods of Rio, Urca. Urca is located between the neighborhoods of Botafogo and Copacabana, forming a small peninsula where the Morro da Urca and the Sugar Loaf are also found. There are two beaches in Urca that are frequented, a beach of Urca that is not good for swimming and the other red beach that we advise you to go. It is one of the best beaches in Rio.

Fantastic right? :]

Bar da Urca

The Urca wall became known in Rio de Janeiro, as it became a place where Cariocas and tourists chose to have a beer and watch the sunset. There are several bars along the wall. Among them are Belmonte, which has a wonderful shrimp and dried meat pie, highly recommended in addition to its draft beer and Bar Urca, which is located at the end of the wall.

Belmonte is right at the beginning, near Praia da Urca, where the former Tupi TV venue is located. It focuses on many people. because you have to walk a little more.

If it’s about 20 minutes, but it depends on your pace and how much you drank before lol.

The highest concentrations of people are found in these two places where people sit on the wall, chat with beer, meet new people and enjoy the wonderful view that dominates the center of Botafogo Corcovado Río and even the Rio-Niterói bridge, including the city of Niteroi.
