Monkeys, apartments and real estate, oh my! As proceeds the life in Rio de Janeiro

By Leandro Tipaldo


As soon as you started exploring apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro you probably had numerous things in mind. First and foremost was likely the attractive beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. Sipping chilled drinks from you penthouse holiday. Secondly, if you are savvy, you might have thought about the tourist attractions. Christ the Redeemer, the sugar loaf and most certainly the crazy nights on the town in Lapa. This was almost certainly what you were thinking after you started to cruise for sale ads in search of a permanent dwelling in Brazil. But there was almost certainly something you didn't anticipate. Monkeys.

Yes, I said monkeys. What do you think about after you think monkeys? Certainly it suits the optimal tropical environment. So you've probably got it in your mind, "oh wow, how exotic that must be." I can have my little monkey! It will be great! I will be the envy of all friends and neighbors back home. Maybe I can even catch some and put them up for sale.

Well slow down there buckaroo. Before you decide to invite monkeys into your apartments and wish for the little rascals to be crawling all over your real estate, I've got news for you. The first bit is now being that inviting a monkey into your penthouse in Copacabana or Ipanema is best when compared to inviting a vampire into your home. Oh sure, they are charming little creatures and you will certainly be seduced by their exotic features. However, you will soon be rendered powerless and your lovely little piece of real estate will quickly be overrun.

The truth is, monkeys are the raccoons of Rio de Janeiro. They are shrewd, cunning little creatures. Once they discover a way into your apartments and they are aware that there are good things to be had, well they will strategically discover other ways to penetrate. This can be assured. Before long you'll be forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted due to monkeys.

So be warned, padlock your doors, shut your windows and keep your bananas covered. Those little monkeys are the scavengers of Rio de Janeiro and nothing at all will stand in the way of what they really want. You can take a quick trip to the beach or the store. It's not even important to travel far. When you return, rest assured that your hairy little friends will have made themselves more comfortable. This is a forgone conclusion. So you can't say that I didn't notify you.
