Rio de Janeiro SAFETY TIPS & ADVICES - South America - TravBuddy

I believe that the following information would be of so much assistance
to Rio de Janeiro visitors.

Here follows some good links you should read and study before coming to
Rio de Janeiro:

Anyway, as I love tourism / sightseeing so much, if you have any doubt,
feel free to send me an e-mail and I'll reply to you informing my
cellular number, this way if you have any questions or need some local
assistance, at least I can help you by phone and maybe (if I'm not
traveling) we can drink some "Caipirinha" or lunch / dinner...

PS: I am 39 years old, I was born and live here in Rio de Janeiro for
more than 35 years! - Here is NOT so dangerous as most people say, but
it is really good to be aware of some dangerous in order to have an
amazing pleasant staying.

Here follows some useful additional (official local government)
