- Stay in hostels even a city like Rio its safe don't worry.
- Try Hand gliding its safe and the only place in the world where u can see the mountain,city centre, beach and forest all from one point.
- Food its lovely try everything - that's assuming u are NOT vegetarian (well god save the them becs u don't have much choice except salads here).
- Go to the per kilo restaurants its cheaper and fills ur stomach rather than eat as much as u like ones (you got to try it once or twice but if u are skint like me i would stick to per kilo).
- Juice bar are a nice idea if u just want nibblers , lite dinner before or after u hit the liquor march.
- Public transportation is cheap and efficient use it .When u are getting back late get on a taxi that has electronic meters .
- Cabs wont stop at traffic junction even if its Red don't go mad, its just for safety reasons.
- Rio is unsafe yes but if u are like an ordinary traveller u should be fine . Don't flash ur expensive Armani watches or Nikon SLRs in the night or else be prepared to be taken for a ride.
Places to See
- Ipanema and Copacabana best beaches in Rio in my view
- Cristo and Sugar loaf
- Illa grande Use public transport to get one way and take a boat the other way I missed it but its really nice
- Buses are like in india but less crowded try it , local will try small talk with you
- Bit of Spanish or Portuguese will take you a long way
- Foz do Iguassu and Itaipu dam (if u are interested in engineering) is bloody brilliant
- Don't miss the Argentinian side
- Giant ice creams i am not kidding they sell it by weight
- Beef boarettoo (typo) in Morrents and the whole meal is very good eat as much as you like for £9 each.
- If you fly from a far off place want to see more i would suggest El Salvador,Florianopolis,Buenos airesand Patagonia.
U get Ethanol everywhere infact most of the cars can run with a mixture of ethanol and petrol!!!
