Braso Lisboa RJ215.008 (LOM1113) is seen on Atlantic Avenue by Copacabana Beach.

As with all buses, it is flat fare, and the 3.00 reals required is prominently displayed in the window.

This scenic view is on the southern perimeter of the huge lake at the back of Copacabana and Ipanema. A common local pursuit is to walk or jog around the seven kilometre perimeter of the lake which is framed with the stunning mountain backdrop. |
