There is a line of string near my house that I always wondered if it was an eruv. So I did some research today and it turns out it is, and that it is fairly recent too! http://www.kolelrio.com.br/index.php/eruv-ipanema/ http://www.kolelrio.com.br/index.php/eruv-ipanema/ http://www.kolelrio.com.br/index.php/eruv-copacabana http://www.kolelrio.com.br/index.php/eruv-copacabana / Interestingly, it appears that mountains and buildings can also count as part of the border, in addition to the string.

Depends. Whilst the Talmud allows for the use of natural boundaries (lakes) in an Eruv, buildings cannot be unless they're a courtyard (for example) that is fenced in. This was simplified.
