Are your apartments and real estate assets in Rio de Janeiro prone to a monkey attack?

By Leandro Tipaldo


Once you started looking into apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro you almost certainly had a number of 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 considered the tourist attractions. Christ the Redeemer, the sugar loaf and most surely the crazy nights on the town in Lapa. This was probably what you were thinking once 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 when you think monkeys? Certainly it suits the ideal tropical environment. So you've probably got it in your mind, "oh wow, how exotic that must be." I can have my very own 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 choose to invite monkeys into your apartments and wish for the little rascals to be running all over your real estate, I've got information for you. The first bit is being that inviting a monkey into your penthouse in Copacabana or Ipanema is best in comparison to inviting a vampire into the house. Oh sure, they are charming little creatures and you will certainly be seduced by their exotic features. However, it's easy to be rendered helpless and your lovely little piece of real estate will quickly be overrun.

The thing is, monkeys are the raccoons of Rio de Janeiro. They are smart, cunning little creatures. Once they discover a way into your apartments and they know that there are delicacies to be had, well they're going to strategically discover other ways to go in. This can be guaranteed. Before long you will end up forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted due to monkeys.

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