\"Driving Copacabana Beach<\/p>\n

 
\nWith almost too many\u00a0beautiful beaches and thriving forests to count, it’s no surprise that Rio de Janeiro is one of South America’s most visited cities. Every February\u00a0tourists flock to the\u00a0seaside metropolis, lured by the legendary\u00a0festival of Carnaval. It’s important to remember, though, that there’s a lot more\u00a0than the sun, surf and tan most guidebooks stay fixated on. (But\u00a0we aren’t judging\u00a0if that’s all you’re looking for.)
\nSplitting his time between Rio de Janeiro and S\u00e3o Paulo, creative entrepreneur Paulo del Valle has become a master at\u00a0finding the city’s hidden gems. Behind the wheel of Volkswagen’s<\/a> comfortable and compact Golf, he played chauffeur for the day and\u00a0revealed a few of Rio’s\u00a0best kept secrets.
\nRead below for Paulo’s tips on the best beach for tourist-free sunbathing as well as our picks for a cultural retreat or two.

 <\/p>\n

Paulo’s Picks:<\/h2>\n

1. Copacabana Beach \u2013 our guess is that it will be impossible not to sing diese<\/a>\u00a0song as you slather on sunscreen at the world-famous beach retreat
\n2. Dona Marta Viewpoint \u2013 top notch views\u00a0of Sugarloaf and\u00a0Christ the Redeemer\u00a0mean picture perfect shots that are sure to invoke envy from Instagram followers\u00a0back home
\n3. Botafogo Bay \u2013 the area closes its two main roads every Sunday, allowing for some stunningly scenic bike rides and afternoon strolls
\n4. Grumari Beach \u2013 one of Rio’s more secluded shorelines, the majority of tourists still haven’t caught on to this tranquil seaside area
\n5. Ipanema Beach \u2013home to numerous art galleries and lunchtime locales, ready and waiting if you choose to leave the water
\n <\/p>\n

SLEEK’s Picks:<\/h2>\n

1. Niter\u00f3i Museum of Contemporary Art<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 this structurally impressive museum houses\u00a0works from\u00a0globally recognised Brazilian artists as well as their international counterparts
\n2.\u00a0Museu de Arte do Rio<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 erected in 2013 as part of an effort to ramp up cultural activities before the World Cup, iconic architecture and innovative design make this building a symbol of development for the city
\n3.\u00a0Luciana Caravello Gallery of Contemporary Art<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 focusing\u00a0on\u00a0emerging local artists, this gallery displays work you won’t find so easily anywhere else
