Timing to visit Rio
The timing is just right. Have you gotten any info about the major events about to take place in Brazil?
There has been happening all sorts of small-scale religious and sports events such as marathons, tournaments, and other types of competitions in Rio de Janeiro, but the biggest ones are the 2013 World Youth Day (WYD), the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
Now is the time to come before Rio de Janeiro becomes more crowded, more expensive, and way too popular.

Rio Costs
The savvy and well-informed international traveler already knows that Rio de Janeiro is not the inexpensive tourist destination it used to be. On the contrary, Rio’s prices are pretty similar, or even higher, than the prices in major cities across the USA, Canada, and Western-Europe.
However, if you are a mid-range or a budget traveler you can still travel to Rio and a have a good time, as long as you have the practical info on how to enjoy the city on an average budget.
If you are travelling on a shoestring, though, then it is a bit harder, but it is feasible with careful planning and analysis. Regrettably, you will be missing lots of great experiences because of a way too tight budget (although you can still do quite a lot of free stuff as Rio is a mostly sunny and warm outdoor city).
