Rio de Janeiro

I took capoeira for three years before conceding that I’m kind of inept, physically. Still, one can’t take capoeira for any length of time without bumping into a few Brazilians, and if there is a culture that advocates for itself more passionately with its sheer delight in everything it does than Brazilians do, I’ve never seen it.

Other than danger in the Favelas, I’ve never heard a bad thing about Rio de Janeiro. The food is amazing, the people are gorgeous and passionate, the music is compelling and the language is beautiful. Though I don’t really get into capoeira anymore, I’d love to see it in its original setting.

The boys are beautiful, and so are the beaches.

It was a breathtaking experience. I understand now why people say it’s one of the world’s wonders of Nature. Everyone should visit Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf at least once in their lifetime.

I want to party in Carnaval, and tan on Ipanema, then visit Christ the Redeemer and the amazing mountain peaks. I would also love to see a Favela, but it may be too risky to venture.

Tourism in Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is a very popular place in the world, almost everyone knows where it is located.
Tourists love going there, they are very welcome, and that’s why it called my attention.
There are lots of places to visit in Rio, for example, the Christ is a very well-known monument. There are lots of beaches that you can visit. Besides, it is very violent and it is one of the most violent places in the world. It has many people, more than 15.383.407 inhabitants.
The Pan American games happened there, it is a very famous competition in Latin America because it involves all the countries. Everyone that goes there walks on the side-walk, witch is closed to the beach.
I conclude that Rio is a wonderful place with many natural beautiful places, it’s a very good place to visit, but not to live, right? Due its to violence!

Beautiful place to visit. Gorgeous sites, and wonderful people! I lived in Rio, Tres Rios, & Manaus. I lived here between the ages of 7 & 13.

I went with a group of friends to Rio de Janeiro and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The girl who organized it found a host company on the internet. I was a little nervous at first, because we didn’t know anything about this company. But they were awesome. If you go to Rio with your family or a group of friends, I highly recommend you check out rioholiday.com. The house you stay at is exquisite and they take very good care of you. I can’t wait to go back.

I moved to Brasil when I was 4 years old. Rio is the place where my step grandparents lived. I loved the fact that I could go to the beach on Christmas. Rio has a special place in my heart. It’s where I met my new siblings who, after 30+ years, we got back in touch.

Spent quite a few vacations here during Carnivale!

I love the beach so it was natural that I wanted to visit here! I traveled alone as a woman and if you are careful and aware you wont have any problems. I feared the cops more than the people. Everything is a deal, the dollar buys a lot there. If you go to Corcovado take a cab. Its more fun and not that much more money. Not all the people are beautiful. If you fit the profile (look at my pic lol) then expect your luggage to be thoroughly searched. They opened every lipstick and it took FOREVER. I was also questioned at every point of entry when I came back into the USA. They have a reciprocal system for visitors, so also expect to be photographed upon entry after waiting in a huge long line. Not very many people speak english, so go prepared for that.
