Things to see & do in Rio de Janeiro
The diversity of the culture and the scenery are the city's strong points. It's a unique mixture of happiness, beauty, colors, hospitality and great pleasure. This perfect combination between city and nature has no comparison anywhere else in the whole planet. Beaches, forest, lagoons, mountains, coastline, waterfalls and parks are mixed with the urban area, making it easy to visit with less time spent and also a great place for Ecotourism and Outdoor activities.

Being the former capital of Brazil and home of the Portuguese Imperial Family, Rio de Janeiro is full of history to tell its visitors. Rio is the capital of culture: around the city that was scenery of national and international films, you will find lots of museums, theaters, concert halls and night clubs with local live music as Samba and Bossa Nova, both born in Rio.

The lifestyle of the Cariocas (as the citizens of Rio are known) revolves around the beach. Throughout the day, and into the night, the stunning beaches affect a seemingly gravitational pull on people, and are a place for leisure, socialising and even business. Bronzed, beautiful bodies and minimal clothing make the beaches a great place for just watching the passing parade of people. The most popular beaches are the world famous Copacabana and Ipanema.

Get to know how life in a ā€favela' is. The mix of races makes the cariocas a happy and fun-loving people with a spirit unequalled anywhere else in the world. And don't forget to visit MaracanĆ£, "the Temple of Soccer Gods".

All of these qualities bound together make Rio de Janeiro the ideal destination for those who wish to be well-received and treated as if at home.

I am Carioca.

I'm translating the text by Google translator. (excuse the errors of English)

Look people will want to get closer to you and your length with a kiss on the face.

If you will look beautiful for your butt and your breasts.

Preocure to stay in Barra da Tijuca. Ta Copacabana beach in the polluted and has many residents of the street. Is danger of being stolen. If you leave cell phones in Copacabana and money in the hotel, take the necessary (U.S. $: 20.00)

Do not talk much because you will see that it is an alien and will take advantage.

Always smile, is not serious (even that is impossible).

Do not rely much on taxi drivers because it can take a walk in Rio de Janeiro all, getting more expensive to move.

Will surprise no one if you use swimsuit, here also USA

The main brands are: ADIDAS, NIKE, Reebok, HBS, KIKISILVER.

Well I think that helped, I hope you understand a little potuguĆŖs because the communication is difficult.

Forget Rio, Its a Tourist Trap and can be dangerous if your not careful,
Go to Buzios or Cabo Frio and have a great time, Much safer there
