Copacabana is a borough located in the southern zone of the city Rio de Janeiro, famous for its 4 km beach. The district was originally called Sacopenapă until the mid-18th century. It was renamed after the construction of a chapel holding a replica of the Virgin of Copacabana, Bolivia. It was incorporated into the city on July 6, 1892. Copacabana begins at Princesa Isabel Avenue and ends at Posto Seis (lifeguard watchtower Six) near the Forte de Copacabana (Stronghold of Copacabana). Beyond Copacabana, there is the small Arpoador beach, followed by the famous borough of Ipanema, then by the borough of Leblon. The Copacabana beach stretches from Posto Dois (lifeguard watchtower Two) to Posto Seis (lifeguard watchtower Six). Leme is at Posto Um (lifeguard watchtower One). There are two Metro stations, at Siqueira Campos and Cardeal Arcoverde, for underground transport to the rest of the city. The Copacabana beaches play host to millions of revelers during the annual New Year's Eve celebrations. The celebrations have featured acts such as Rod Stewart and the Rolling Stones. It has also played host, in most years, to the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
