The sweet rodizio.
This is a top pick! ... sale (I guess I need to start working again first :-). Properties in Búzios are quite expensive compared to other places in Brazil, but still nothing compared to for example Spain, France and Italy (where most Europeans buy their holiday homes). So why ...
...the hottest spot south of havana...
This is a top pick! ... heap of Cachaca - the local sugar cane spirit - mixed with lime, some sugar and who knows what else. Brilliant. Brazil has an interesting bevarage culture. Things that just arent't common in Australia. Perhaps they should be. ...
The hidden places.
This is a top pick! ... before. We have also enjoyed all the places we have visited, but we still haven't found our paradise beach. I know for a fact that Brazil got heaps of wonderful beaches, but we haven't really found any of them so far. The beaches has been very good, but ...
One packed week and some serious partying
This is a top pick! ... game in 1950 that had the attendance of over 210,000 (officially, it was under 200,000 like official records really matter in Brazil). On this day, the Maracana was going to play host to a game between Vasco Da Gama and Fluminense. The game was great and ...
At the Copa... Copacabana
This is a top pick! ... CAPOEIRA While in Salvador, we saw some amazing demonstrations of Capoeira, a form of fighting/dance that originiated in northeastern Brazil. I did not actually take part in this, just the photo op. I did film two videos for you, to ...
He was high as a kite and had evil eyes.
This is a top pick! ... along Copacabana beach. It was a Monday about 9PM. The avenue was as busy as ever (this avenue is probably the busiest in Rio, and also considered pretty safe due to the number of people, tourists and cops). We were walking towards Ipanema and Leblon for ...
Still got the bug
This is a top pick! ... time. South America was always calling me on the 'big' trip, but it didn't happen. In less than a week from now though, i will be in Rio, Brazil ready to travel round again and get back to my roots with my backpack, bangles and piercings. Oh, and ...
Futebol!
This is a top pick! ... people trying to swim! Two days ago we decided to go to watch a Brazilian football game...Botafogo v Flamengo, two rival teams in Rio. We booked with a tour company called "Be a local" but I must mention that the "tour" was basically just transport and ...
More of Brazil
This is a top pick! Well, Brazil continues to be one of my favourite countries in South America, as Ive visited so many beautiful places in the last couple of weeks. I did a 3 day trek in the jungle in Lençois to see Brazils highest waterfall. At 380m high it was pretty ...
Worlds Biggest Football Stadium
This is a top pick! Got to our apartment by bus last night and were a bit sceptical about Rio and safety having read some horror stories on the Lonely Planet Thorn tree website. Up today and went to the supermarket to stock up our fridge. Then go into the centre of ...
Heights of Rio
This is a top pick! As I was still feeling a bit dodgy and we were both still a bit scared about safety we went for a city tour of Rio plus it was pretty reasonable. Eventually got picked up in the morning and taken first to see the Maracana stadium (!) where Dave followed ...
Real Rio?
This is a top pick! ... ) In the afternoon we go on a favela tour. First head to the largest one - Rocina (sp?) this is the largest one in Rio. Approx 1 1/2 million people (out of about 6 1/2 mill) live in Rio's favelas, of which there are 30. We first meet some local ...
Big City Brazil
This is a top pick! ... that. Sunshine, beaches, sunshine, beaches, caparinhas, girls, sunshine, beaches. Something like that anyway. Having a blast, Brazil is definitely a must see country so far. Brazilian Portuguese still baffles all my potential powers of comprehension. Say ...
Internal Flight Risk
This is a top pick! ... went HARD this week in Rio. Not just parties...well, lots of parties...but not JUST parties! Put together a rocking crew in Rio, including Jen and Frankie from the UK, Roya and Tyler our new best travelling friends, and teams Sweden, Argentina, and Chile ...
The Samba Legend
This is a top pick! ... Erica slept all the way back in the cab. It was a classic night though and something so different from everthing else we have done, it is probably as close to Carnival as it comes without spending a stupid amount of money. Fantastic, loving Brazil now. ...
Carnival Capers
This is a top pick! ... harm the group's chances in the competition as nudity is prohibited! Hahaha. All together is was an amazing time and if your in Brazil in Feb check it out. We brought the local rag the next day to see the pictures inside the paper it seemed to be ...
Last border crossing!
This is a top pick! ... border and couldnt help but feel sad and really hot, it was about 30 degrees. Within an hour we were on a 24hr bus to Rio. I tried the Brazilian saltenas....no where near as good as Bolivia and no fried chicken waiting for us at the side of the road when ...

Todo bem...
This is a top pick! ... to a petshop and happened tom come across quite a few budgerigars. I wondered how they got them to Brazil. A trip to the beaches of Rio solved the mystery. The illegal smuggling of budgies in men's bathing suits is seemingly rampant in ...
The Marvelous City
This is a top pick! I returned to Salvador last week to extend my stay in Brazil by obtaining another 90 day stamp for my passport from the Federal Police. The process was quite painless actually and I was only worried for a minute when they asked to see my plane ticket ...
Rio De Janeiro
This is a top pick! ... ! 07/04/08: The next morning (this is where the camera came out), we went to the Favellas. Basically, ´the slums of Rio. They áre stuck into the side of the hill. People are very poor there, illegally build their houses, don´t pay taxes, and ...
Relaxed
This is a top pick! Are you after a place to relax and basically do nothing? Well then Paraty (pronounced Par-ach-ie) down the coast from Rio is the place. We arrived a few days ago and found a place to stay at a bed and breakfast. As it's low tourist season the place is ...

24 hour bus journey to Rio
