Nothing like waking up early to hike in the largest urban jungle in the world, only to end the day at one of the highest peaks in Rio with an amazing 360 degree panoramic view of the city!
Hang Gliding in Rio de Janeiro
If you'd rather not hike, but still want a killer view of Rio, take a ride up to one of the peaks with a local and take a flight in a Hang Glider! You can even have the adventure photographed by the guide!
Praia Ipanema
Soak up the rays on Ipanema beach. Fun atmosphere with a lot of locals playing soccer, volleyball, and paddle ball. Dont miss out on the ice cold coconut water and brazilian beer!
Estação Alto do Corcovado
Don't need to explain...just go! Make sure its a clear day, no clouds...simply amazing!
Morro do Pão de Açúcar
Take a ride on the gondola to one of the most iconic parts of Rio. Unbelievable views...go on a clear day!
Melt
Awesome Night Club...try to get your name on the list if you can...great drinks, great music...very popular! Make sure you get some Caipirinhas!
Palaphita Kitsch
Great romantic date spot, or place to go with a group to get traditional food and AMAZING Caipirinhas! Very quaint, right in front of the Lake...enjoy the view!
Nuth Lounge
Favorite club in Rio...located in Barra Tijuca...get there early, get on the list if you can!
I would stay at: Mar Ipanema
Anywhere in Leblon or Ipanema is the place to stay...a little pricier but worth it for sure!!!
