Thanks, Antonio.

As you come alone, it will be safer to come for a travel agency and walk always accompanied by a guide, here you can hire tours in hotels where you stay. I suggest that you stay in the south of RJ (Copacabana) and if you desire you can schedule tours for Angra and Parati (places of beaches) Petropolis and Teresopolis (mountains). Have a good trip!

Near from Rio we have Petropolis, the Imperial City. There was built a palace for the emperor stay in the summer. There are others town which preserves the buildings of 18-19 centuries, like Tiradentes/MG and Paraty/RJ. It worths a visit. Salvador/BA is another interesting city to visit. If you came to Rio, let me know. I´ll give you more tips and introduce you my mother that is a History teacher. She will be glad to talk about brazilian history.

its ok. have a good trip

Am in Rio de Janeiro currently, experienced the Sambodromo (fantastic!) & the blocos - each havea feel of their own - it has to be experienced! language is a huge problem, be sure to bring some form of translation - pre selected phrases, numbers, colors, right, left & most important of all - where is the bank!! You can only withdraw from HSBC, Banco do Brazil & 1 other bank which I can't remember now. Very expensive country & very friendly people. Having a great time!

It's certainly going to be fun.........

Unfortunately, i will be there from 15th to 23th, so may be i will meet you ELI???
