The harder you have to work for something, the more it can be appreciated. If that’s true, then visitors will absolutely appreciate the beauty of Lopes Mendes, a two-mile stretch of coastline accessible from Rio after a three-hour car drive, a ferry ride, a water taxi and a brief hike through lush forest. Crystal clear waters are breathtaking, and the typical beach restaurants are replaced by an abundance of almond and palm trees.
