Photos: Na By Force? #WorldCup2014 fans ignore danger warnings & camp on Rio’s Copacabana beach

Hundreds of cost-conscious, die-hard football fans have found a cheaper way to attend the World Cup in one of Brazil's most expensive cities - camping by Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach.

Fans have been sleeping rough and cooking meals by the beach in a bid to avoid Rio's notoriously pricey hotels.

Although Rio has worked hard to shake off its reputation for violent crime and security is at an-all time high, the famous beach is still renowned for pickpocketing and robberies.

'We want to receive tourists correctly with special attention for our South American neighbours who have driven enormous distances with family and friends to enjoy the World Cup in our city,' said Paes.

The establishment of camping facilities will give visitors access to toilets while municipal cleaning teams and police will also be deployed there.

But not all the tourists, who have in some cases travelled more than 4,000 km (4000 miles) to Rio, are happy to have to leave their beach bolthole.

'Rio was not prepared to receive such a large scale event ... there are no chemical toilets, no spaces to park our camper vans. Now we are being moved on and they are saying if we don't comply they will confiscate our vans,' one Argentinian fan, Daniel Muller, told AFP.
