The trade of wild animals in Brazil is highly illegal. You may even go to jail for buying a real parrot or a toucan. We count on you to help us preserve our wild animals where they belong: in our forests!

Saints are carved in wood in front of your eyes by this extremely talented artist. Make sure to stop here and watch him at work. Just don't stand in front of the light, as you may disturb his concentration. The pieces are very detailed and prices are quite good. Photo by Marcos Silviano for ipanema.com | All rights reserved.

These wooden figures may be a bit too big to fit in your suitcase, but they are quite interesting anyway. Most of them are long-limbed women and human forms and shapes. Photo by Marcos Silviano for ipanema.com | All rights reserved.  Todos os direitos reservados.
