The way to monkey-proof your apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro

By Leandro Tipaldo


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

Yes, I said monkeys. What you think about after 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 own, personal little monkey! It will be great! I will be the envy of all my pals back home. Maybe I can even grab 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 going to be that inviting a monkey into your penthouse in Copacabana or Ipanema is best in comparison to inviting a vampire into your house. Oh sure, they can be charming little creatures and you will certainly be seduced by their exotic features. However, you may invariably be rendered powerless and your lovely little piece of real estate will soon be overrun.

The truth is, monkeys are the raccoons of Rio de Janeiro. They are clever, cunning little creatures. Once they discover a way into your apartments and they are aware that there are kickshaws to be had, well they may strategically discover other ways to enter. This can be assured. Before long you may be forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted as a result of monkeys.

So be warned, lock your doors, shut your windows and keep your bananas disguised .. Those little monkeys are the scavengers of Rio de Janeiro and nothing 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 furry little friends will have made themselves comfy. This is a forgone conclusion. So you can't say that I didn't alert you.
