into Guanabara Bay through a series
of magnificent beach neighborhoods, which reach the Sugar Loaf at the
mouth of the bay. The history of fashionable Rio can be traced through these
areas. In colonial times the aristocracy frequented Centro. Then they moved
to Glória, with its yacht-filled harbor and, in the mid-20th century, to
Flamengo and Botafogo. When the water became polluted they abandoned
these for the Atlantic and Copacabana. Today Ipanema and Leblon are the
popular places to live. However, the bay neighborhoods retain stately build-
ings, attractive parks, and interesting little museums and galleries.
