Are your apartments and real estate investments in Rio de Janeiro susceptible to a monkey invasion?

By Leandro Tipaldo


As soon as you started researching apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro it is likely you had numerous 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 considered 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 as soon as you started to cruise for sale ads in search of a permanent house in Brazil. But there was probably something you didn't anticipate. Monkeys.

Yes, I said monkeys. What do you think about once 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 very own little monkey! It will be great! I will be the envy of all my friends back home. Maybe I can even snatch 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 news for you. The first bit is now being that inviting a monkey into your penthouse in Copacabana or Ipanema is best in comparison to inviting a vampire into your home. Oh sure, these are charming little creatures and you will easily be seduced by their exotic features. However, you may invariably be rendered helpless and your lovely little piece of real estate will soon be overrun.

You see, monkeys are the raccoons of Rio de Janeiro. They are smart, cunning little critters. Once they discover a way into your apartments and they realize that there are treats to be had, well they may strategically discover other ways to penetrate. This can be assured. Before long you may be forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted due to monkeys.

So be warned, lock your doors, shut your windows and keep your bananas concealed. Those little monkeys are the scavengers of Rio de Janeiro and absolutely nothing will stand in the way of their ambitions. You can take a short trip to the beach or the store. It's not even needed to travel far. When you return, rest assured that your furry little friends will have made themselves comfortable. This is a forgone conclusion. So you can't say that I didn't warn you.
