When you started researching apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro you most likely had a number of 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 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 when you started to cruise for sale ads in search of a permanent dwelling in Brazil. But there was almost certainly something you didn't anticipate. Monkeys.

Yes, I said monkeys. What you think about after you think monkeys? Certainly it suits the best tropical environment. So you've probably got it in your mind, "oh wow, how exotic that must be." I can have my own little monkey! It will be great! I will be the envy of all friends and neighbors back home. Maybe I can even grab some and put them up for sale.

Well slow down there buckaroo. Before you decide 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 as compared to inviting a vampire into your home. Oh sure, they are charming little creatures and you will certainly be seduced by their exotic features. However, you will soon be rendered powerless and your lovely little piece of real estate will soon be overrun.

You see, monkeys are the raccoons of Rio de Janeiro. They are clever, cunning little creatures. Once they discover a way into your apartments and they know that there are good things to be had, well they're going to strategically discover other ways to enter. This can be assured. Before long you can be forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted as a consequence of monkeys.

So be warned, secure your doors, shut your windows and keep your bananas disguised .. Those little monkeys are the scavengers of Rio de Janeiro and absolutely nothing will stand in the way of what they desire. 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 fuzzy little friends will have made themselves more comfortable. This is a forgone conclusion. So you can't say that I didn't notify you.
