Are your apartments and real estate investments in Rio de Janeiro at risk of a monkey attack?

By Leandro Tipaldo


As soon as you started researching apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro you probably had several 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 surely the crazy nights on the town in Lapa. This was likely what you were thinking when you started to cruise for sale ads in search of a permanent residence in Brazil. But there was almost certainly something you didn't anticipate. Monkeys.

Yes, I said monkeys. What you think about whenever you think monkeys? Certainly it suits the perfect 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 buddies back home. Maybe I can even capture 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 news for you. The first bit is going to be that inviting a monkey into your penthouse in Copacabana or Ipanema is best in comparison to inviting a vampire into your home. Oh sure, they're charming little creatures and you will certainly 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.

The thing is, 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 good items to be had, well they will likely strategically discover other ways to penetrate. This can be guaranteed. Before long you may be forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted as a result of 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 nothing will stand in the way of their ambitions. You can take a quick trip to the beach or the store. It's not even vital 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.
