My property is right at the edge of the Atlantic rainforest with these breathtaking views of the jungled mountainside, the beach and open ocean, and I designed the rooms with the massive sliding glass doors that open onto generous balconies that allow you to almost touch the rainforest. You awake watching and listening to various species of birds sing in the trees as monkeys dance past your room in the trees, and it all has the ocean as a backdrop. Its like living in a tree house that overlooks the ocean.
I'm a version of the Big Lembowski, laid back with too many Hawaiian shirts and I do enjoy a White Russian now and then. I've traveled in Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. I rock climb, surf, and feed the monkeys while trying to make things a little better in the favela by starting a school and doing some economic development. I was a minister for 30 so my friend summed me up by saying I was a "half holy, seedy saint that is out there sinning bravely." I do hope you come for a visit. .
Vidigal is emblematic of Rio’s challenging contrasts. Perching along the coast in the Atlantic rainforest, this artistic seaside neighborhood claims some of the world’s most sought-after real estate. Although Vidigal’s beauty is next to none, its hardships are real—but anyone who has stayed or lived here for any length of time will testify that Vidigal is much safer that any of the heavily touristed beach areas. It is really safe to walk the streets here any time of the day or night, and this is proven almost every morning at party goers meander back home after a night out in one of Vidigals many mountain top night spots.
