Outdoor Shop in Rio

Hi all,

I know this is a very random question, but I am in desperate need to buy a bed bug sheet in Rio as I have found out I am really allergic to them :(

I am looking for something like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pyramid-Mattress-Bug-Sheet-Double/dp/B000VXZ41Q/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1360977768&sr=8-2-spell

Anyone know where I can get one in Rio, preferably round the Ipanema/copacabana.

Thanks all!
Espoleta

It's not in Ipanema or Copacabana, but there is a very good outdoor supplies shop in the Centro. It is called Sub & Sub and its address is Rua da Alfândega, 98. The closest Metrô stop is Uruguaiana and the shop is very close to the station, just walk a block east, in the direction of Guanabara Bay. I have no clue if they will have the (admittedly unusual) product you require, but this shop was the best-equipped outdoor supplier I found in over a year of travelling South America!

Hi,
In Copacabana you could try:
  • Ecotrek:
Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, 1072 / Loja 205
Copacabana - Rio de Janeiro - RJ
(21) 2287-1467
