Brazil is one of the premier destinations in the world for exquisite culture and access to a variety of vacation types, from a vacation filled with hot beaches and resorts to a vacation that is filled with culture and even trips to the rainforest which can yield wildlife and vegetation unlike any other that most have seen through their lifetime.

Traveling through the rainy season in Rio de Janeiro is discouraged, as the city is largely weather dependant since the tourism relies on outdoor activities and the hot sandy beaches. Visiting Rio in summer and fall is recommended as this dry season can yield the best results for those travelers wanting to make the most of the destination.

Rio is not as dangerous as the destination is preconceived to be. As with any large destination it is advisable to stay out of certain parts of the city, but sticking to the main parts of the city and tourist destinations is completely safe. Stick to well-lit areas that are known tourist destinations and it can be an effective way to stay safe. There are certain tours which are offered through parts of the city that are considered to be dangerous, but staying within the tour group and adhering the advice of the tour guide can help to keep you safe. These areas are often referred to as “Favelas” and are a great way to see a flip side of the city, one that you won’t be able to experience through resorts and tourist destinations.

You can also check out the Capacobana beach if you’re a water sport lover. It stretches more than 50kilometers of clean sand. The beaches here are popular because of the sexy babes who spend their time sunbathing.

There are many activities that you can do in this beautiful city, just make sure that you always stay in group when moving around.
