Tips before travelling to Rio
Tip # 1 – Allocate three to five (or more) days to Rio
Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world – larger than continental USA. Take into consideration not to cover the whole country in one single short trip.
Visit Rio and other destinations a drive away such as Buzios (beach town in the North of Rio, 2.5 hours away by car) and Paraty (colonial town in the South of Rio, 3.5 hours away by car).
You can also visit Ilha Grande (eco tourism island, 2 hours away by car plus 1 hour by ferry boat). Ilha Grande is on the way to Paraty, so you can cover these two on a trip to the South of Rio.
The bottom line is you can easily spend 10-12 great days in and around Rio. Do you have more vacation days? Then, visit the Amazon and Iguassu Falls.
Tip # 2 – Come to Rio any time of the year
The weather and the vibe in Rio are good all year around. I’ve worked as a tour guide since 2004 and have guided literally thousands of tourists — none of them ever said “I wished I had come another time of the year”.
Visit Rio any month and don’t be surprised to start planing a second trip even before leaving the city.
Tip # 3 – Bring friends, family, your spouse, or travel solo
The vast majority of travelers love visiting Rio, especially those who like beaches, nightlife, warm weather, good food, drinks and local beers, nature, good infrastructure as well as friendly and informal natives.
Either traveling with family and children, with a group of friends, or alone, Rio will most likely satisfy your needs and possibly exceed your expectations.
There are many other important tips to learn before travelling to Rio as well as once in Rio. Don’t go around on the Internet searching for outdated tips, get them all beautifully packed in one single spot – My Rio Travel Guide, the comprehensive guidebook written by an insider.
