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

After you started looking into apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro you probably had lots 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 probably what you were thinking as soon as you started to cruise for sale ads in search of a permanent home in Brazil. But there was probably something you didn't anticipate. Monkeys.

Yes, I said monkeys. What you think about if you think monkeys? Certainly it suits the optimal tropical environment. So you've probably got it in your mind, "oh wow, how exotic that must be." I can have my very 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 crawling all over your real estate, I've got information for you. The first bit is now being that inviting a monkey into your penthouse in Copacabana or Ipanema is best as compared to inviting a vampire into the home. Oh sure, they can be charming little creatures and you will certainly be seduced by their exotic features. However, you may invariably be rendered powerless and your lovely little piece of real estate will soon be overrun.

The truth is, monkeys are the raccoons of Rio de Janeiro. They are clever, cunning little creatures. Once they discover a way into your apartments and they realize that there are kickshaws to be had, well they're going to strategically discover other ways to enter. This can be guaranteed. Before long you will be forced to put your vacation home for sale. Evicted because of monkeys.

Those little monkeys are the scavengers of Rio de Janeiro and practically nothing will stand in the way of what they want. You can take a short trip to the beach or the store. It's not even required to travel far. When you return, rest assured that your bushy little friends will have made themselves more comfortable. This is a forgone conclusion. So you can't say that I didn't tell you.
