Tips on how to monkey-proof your apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro

By Leandro Tipaldo


As soon as you started studying apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro you most likely 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 most likely what you were thinking after you started to cruise for sale ads in search of a permanent dwelling in Brazil. But there was probably something you didn't anticipate. Monkeys.

Yes, I said monkeys. What you think about if 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 little monkey! It will be great! I will be the envy of all my pals 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 crawling 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 when compared to inviting a vampire into your house. Oh sure, they can be charming little creatures and you will easily be enticed by their exotic features. However, you will soon be rendered helpless and your lovely little piece of real estate will quickly be overrun.

You see, monkeys are the raccoons of Rio de Janeiro. They are clever, cunning little critters. Once they discover a way into your apartments and they understand that there are good things to be had, well they'll strategically discover other ways to penetrate. This can be guaranteed. Before long you will end up forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted as a consequence of monkeys.

So be warned, padlock your doors, close 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 their ambitions. 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 fuzzy little friends will have made themselves comfortable. This is a forgone conclusion. So you can't say that I didn't warn you.
