The beach line
A long, nearly straight shoreline runs the full width of the neighbourhood, a crisp boundary between the dense grid of streets and the open Atlantic.

The map
Ipanema occupies a slim band of land in Rio de Janeiro's Zona Sul, squeezed between the open Atlantic on one side and the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas on the other. That position gives it one of the clearest shapes of any city neighbourhood: a long, straight beach to the south and a still, rounded lagoon just behind it.
The street pattern is a tight grid of blocks running parallel to the shore. Avenida Vieira Souto follows the beach, Rua Visconde de Pirajá runs through the commercial heart, and short cross streets connect sand to lagoon. At the eastern end, the rocks of Arpoador close the beach; to the west, the Jardim de Alah canal separates Ipanema from Leblon.
An Ipanema map poster also carries a cultural echo. The neighbourhood gave its name to The Girl from Ipanema, the bossa nova song that carried an image of this beach around the world in the 1960s, and its long, orderly shoreline remains one of Rio's most recognisable edges.
A long, nearly straight shoreline runs the full width of the neighbourhood, a crisp boundary between the dense grid of streets and the open Atlantic.
Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas sits just north of the grid, a broad rounded shape of water that gives the map a second, calmer edge.
A narrow canal links lagoon and ocean on the western side, marking the boundary with Leblon and cutting a clean line across the composition.
