Are your apartments and real estate investments in Rio de Janeiro susceptible to a monkey invasion?

By Leandro Tipaldo


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

Yes, I said monkeys. What do you think about while 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 little monkey! It will be great! I will be the envy of all my friends back home. Maybe I can even snatch 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 when compared with inviting a vampire into the house. Oh sure, they're charming little creatures and you will easily be enticed by their exotic features. However, it's easy to be rendered powerless 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 delicacies to be had, well they will likely strategically discover other ways to go in. This can be assured. Before long you may be forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted as a consequence of monkeys.

So be warned, lock your doors, close your windows and keep your bananas hidden. Those little monkeys are the scavengers of Rio de Janeiro and practically nothing will stand in the way of what they desire. You can take a quick 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.
