I ran across this store in Ipanema called "Garota de Ipanema" which was near the hostel where I was staying. My friend and I needed new beach gear to get the proper Brazil beach experience, so we went in looking for pretty much everything we´d need for the next week or so. They have these beach she...

It seems that everyone knows someone who has a terrible story of how they were robbed in South America. Right before I left, everyone wanted to share these stories with me and discuss the synopses of Bus 174 and City of God (I didn't see these movies until after my trip). As I prepared for Brazil, I...

I had a pretty bad toothache my first couple of days in Rio and had to get by anyway possible. Before it got worse I went to a clinic in Ipanema called Multi-Oral to take care of this minor setback. Next day I was back on my two feet again, and I have those guys to thank. The fact that they have Eng...

To start with - Ipanema is better beach than Copacabana. Ipanema has higher waves though so be very very cautious.
Beware of pickpockets and crime, dont wonder too much away from your group or 3 parallel lanes away from beach, or else be prepared to be mugged.
Hotel Ceaser Park is one of the fine...

Despite the fact that Rio is the world capital of beauty, once I was there I never thought of having any aesthetic treatment, after all, vacations in a sunny paradise doesn't quite match with botox or peelings. However, during my days in Rio I had a rash, so I needed professional advice, and for my ...

Rio offers so much for so little. Can be considered over rated for some people? Rio is a city with such cultural variety. You need to be aware of your surroundings but like every city just be careful and use common scence. Just listen to the hotels recommendations and avoid the dangerous places. Th...

In Germany, there aren´t many places you can go to for a plastic surgery, or one where the results are completely satisfying. After much online researching, I found many results, and most of these seemed to be directed to a clinic in Brazil. That didn´t impress me, seeing as people there tend to b...

A local craft /Brazilian art store in the heart of Ipanema, very close to the beach, in Rio de Janeiro. Everybody knows how rich of art and culture is Brazil, the weird thing is that is very difficult to find a decent store, with no-cheesy stuff to buy for nice prices. Brazil & Cia products are sele...

Nix says:
Intro Although Rio de Janeiro is famous around the world as a touristic city, I feel a considerable lack of tourist oriented information at the airports and a lack of care for the main tourist attractions. So, sometimes I got a little bit ashamed for that. Our city should provide help for foreign ...

Staying in Rio for almost 2 weeks i was feeling myself quite exhausted of so many night outs followed by entire days under the sun. After going to the beach in Ipanema I had scheduled an appointment with Spa Maria Bonita for two hours of massage. It was money well spent and this spa will apply some ...

Ilha Grande is famous for its beautiful and secluded beaches. But sometimes they are so hidden that you might need to take a boat around the island, or walk some long miles. If you're planning on spend an entire day (or more) on the island, you'll probably do both.So, be ready to walk some nature tr...

An amazing medical clinic that is specialized in foreigners. For some dumb reason, I got caught with a flu during my stay in Rio and things got worse from there. I had a high temperature and was feeling really sick. Thankfully, I was with a group of friends who contacted the hotel service requesting...
