WANDERING IN RIO

Ever woke up one morning and was like to yourself, “Hey lets go to Brazil?” Okay maybe that’s just me..

Randomly saw a good deal on Travelocity one morning to Rio De Janeiro and decided why not. My boyfriend and our two friends booked our vacation package and we were on our way to Miramar Windsor Hotel in Copacabana.

You can’t go to Rio with out seeing Christ the Redeemer. We booked our tour on Viator and were on our way. We weren’t so lucky with the weather that day it was cloudy/rainy but that didn’t stop us from having a good time!

We took a trip that we booked through our hotel to Tijuka Forest which had sick views and cool waterfalls.

I highly recommend taking a day trip to Armação dos Búzios aka Buzios. It’s basically an upscale vacation destination in a super cute beach town. We booked our tour on viator that included a long drive, a Booze cruise, and enjoying free time on the beach/ town of Buzios.

Tips for Brazil:

you NEED a visa if you’re traveling from the United States. Be aware it may take over a month to get an appointment at the consulate so plan accordingly!!
Many people didn’t speak English but it was totally fine even at restaurants
Its NOT as dangerous as people say it is… I felt perfectly fine just be smart and be safe 🙂
I would exchange some money to their currency but places do take Credit Cards
Get Havianas for super cheap 🙂
Because of the conversion things are super cheap and you can eat like kings
If you’re into art they have sick art work in street markets all around
Look into going to Arrial De Cabo (We didn’t go but looks AMAZING)
My only regret was not going hangliding.. until we meet again RIO
