Do you really want to see Rio's best things?
Put on some confortable shows and walk!!!
Wait, wait! You're not going to walk all the way from Copa to Lapa, of course! But I mean, going by bus, taxi or subway, once you get in some new neighborhood, take a walk around.
In Copa? Don't restric yo...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

I have been to Rio many times, and even though I am from Brazil, I am a tourist as well in Rio since I have never lived there. Rio is a fascinating city with lots and lots to do.
Here are my recommendations:
1) Stay at Barra or Leblon or Ipanema. Copacabana is a tourist trap with many shady char...

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.

January 29th, Leblon Beach, Rio, woke up this morning and it was pretty hot, humid and it looked like it was going to rain, but after a shower and breakfast it started to clear out, so I'm on the beach now soaking some sun and reflecting more on the trip so far (while sipping on Skol).
As I menti...

Little more about Rio, especially for those traveling there for the 1st time.
Rio de Janeiro is huge! It's pretty spread out too, not like LA but close to it, there are three main beaches, starting with Copacabana, then Ipanema and Leblon. Copa is pretty commercialized with hotels all over the p...
