Rua Barao da Torre, 485, Ipanema Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
After a 20 something bus ride I was a bit brain dead when I arrived in Rio. I went with the first Taxi guy I saw at the bus station. 50 real later I arrived at the wrong hostel because I called out the wrong address from the Lonely planet to the driver. It turned out to be a better hostel than the one I was heading to. The Ipanema Beach house ha...
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by anywherebuthereDe laatste dagen slijten in Rio De Janeiro: het zit erop! Het weer maakt ook al duidelijk dat dit afscheid is: grauw en motregen, tijd om naar huis te gaan.
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by basmaartjeIīve been in Rio for a week now and have one night left...I canīt believe I am flying home tomorrow!! I have been going out practically every night here, so physically speaking I am very much looking forward to getting out of dorms (triple bunks here at Ipanema Beach house!) and actually getting some sleep in my own bed at home. I am of course r...

We decided to stay in the rich side of town and headed to Ipanema. The hostel Ipanema Beach house came well recommended in the guide book so we stayed there for 8 days.

A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by colandsandRio de Janeiro - May 20th to 30th Day 5 After a little over 4 hours of flying, the plane touched down in Rio de Janeiro. Hooray! Instantly getting off the plane I felt the wonderful warmth of Rioīs more tropical climate, bye bye jumper. Now it was nice to touch down, but I must say the process to get out of the airport was one of the most horrib...
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by henrikstrodlWell, the famous Rio de Janeiro!! Absolutley Amazing!! This is the most beautiful city in the world, as far as I know so far. We stayed with Roxy and Jay at the Ipanema beach house. While there we found Jesus, literally, there is a statue atop a mountain of a 42 story tall Jesus, extraordinary views. We smoked on the steps at Lapa where Snoop Do...
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by icicle017And so we were back... Rio, Ipanema, Ipanema Beach House. We took Aaron to the beach, some parks, shopping, a churrasca, it was fun, but after the Amazon, we were WORN OUT. Unfortunatley, he didnt get to go to sugarloaf or Jesus because the weather, but we enjoyed our last night together with the company of some Germans on skateboards, a crazy g...
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by icicle017We arrived in Rio Monday evening just in time to get in a cab and hit a crazy rush hour with a bunch of crazy drivers. We whizzed in and out of lanes past more high rise apartments, favela filled hillsides, and through tunnels until we reached our sweet little abode of a hostel, the Ipanema Beach House. Just blocks from Ipanema Beach, our hostel...
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by jasonanderinSo here I am in Rio de Janeiro. Managed to sleep ok on the plane - night flights are good. We took a bus to Ipanema which is where our hostel is. Whilst Jim was reading his Econonomist I was gazing out of the window people watching. The colours were bright - mainly yellow. We passed a favela - shanty town. Jim wanted us to stay at a guesthouse i...
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by lisalegslimWell, the long awaited trip to Rio had finally arrived...!! That meant that Elio (my friend from Uni) also headed out to Brazil catch up and sample the travelling lifestyle for a couple of weeks. We felt like we'd entered a slightly alternate reality when we arrived at the Ipanema beach house (backpacker hostel) to find a Louis Vitton store abou...
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by minijumboontourRio, where to start. Beautiful, busy, fashionable and at times pretty scary!! I had booked a bus from Puerto Iguasu to Sao Paulo so I could get a bus straight to Paraty and head along the coast to Rio, however not liking the idea of waiting in Sao Paulo bus station from 4.30am till light then moving across the city with all my stuff (since Sao P...
A travel blog entry from Rio de Janeiro by paulontheroadApril 19 - Welcome to Rio! We were excited to return to South America even it is was only for four nights, but we must admit that we were also a bit nervous. Compared to all of the cities we've visited so far, everything we've read about Rio suggests that it is possibly the least safe. With only a few hours of sleep, we gathered our wits about u...
