Rio was just an amazing party city and there was so much to see and do. We chilled out on Ipaneama and Copacobana beach and attempted to get a tan. We went up the sugar loaf mountain and to the christ to seee beautiful views of Rio and to watch the sunset. We stayed in Lapa/Santa Teresa on the little street car line near some great samba clubs, street parties and Capirinha sellers. I would go back in a shot as there is so much more to see. It was especially great to be there during the world …

Since I last wrote on here we have been busy with our sightseeing... The football was amazing words cannot describe how passionate people are about football. We were sat in amongst all of the fans who were singing, letting off flares and generally going mental. We have some videos and photos on our camera which I will try and put on here soon but they do not do the atmosphere justice. I am so glad however that we went with a group instead of on our own as I think I would have been a bit sca…

BUS JOURNEY Our last bus trip, woo! And of course it had to be seriously eventful since it was our last one and it certainly didnt dissapoint in that respect! It was suppsoed to be 22 hours and it ended up being 32 hours! Our first glitch happened whilst getting on the bus itself. Basically the guy checking us on had the responsibility of checking everyones documents, making sure we had all of the correct border stamps which of course we didnt!(read my Iguazu blog for details why) We were p…

Who hasn´t heard about Rio De Janeiro before?It´s in the first place famous for its carnaval, the statue of Christ and for its beaches with names that for sure ring a bell: Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon. Next to this there is also cosy, bohemian neighbourhoods called Santa Teresa and Lapa. Thanks to travbuddy.com I got into contact with a guy called Bruno and who lives in Rio De Janeiro. It may start to sound a bit predictable, but again the hospitality I experienced was unseen…

Rio, what can I say. Such a beautiful place filled with culture, adventure, and alluring beaches.

Some experiences and reviews travelling around ;D

Over spring break in 2005 a group of students from my school took a trip down to Rio de Janeiro. We went to help teach English and computer classes at a school and run a basketball camp. Basically we just played with kids all day!!

Impressions from across Rio de Janeiro.....Cobacabana and Ipanema Beaches, Downtown city life with lots of delicous barbeque restaurants and awesome Caipirinhas in all strengths and flavors (!!), seeing why soccer is so important for Brazilians, the so unbelievably beautiful nature with its jungles, mountains, waterfalls, and the incredible long coast. Culture and heritage which is one of a kind and for sure unique in its ways.The clock just ticks different in Brazil....and the greates…

2006 trip for a month to do some research and of course, to travel.

i got to rio right after new years, because i couldn't (didn't wanted) to pay the prices they asked for hostels over that period! in the bus there, i saw a friend i met before, so when we got to rio we decided to get to the same hostel, with me was a friend from slovakia i met in the hostel in sao paulo and with him his sister and a friend, with advises from others we went to the "stone of a beach" hostel, we were lucky and all found beds, all the others didn't visited rio before so we decide…
