We spend 4 days in total in Rio because, we plan to go to Buenos Aires and then return here for Carnaval. While we're here we don't do very much and certainly not many touristy things. We figured, while we can hang out with Aldri, who is a local, we ... Read more >

We've heard lots of different things
about Sao Paulo. Most of them have been quite negative but a few

In Ilhabela we got lucky with a really
nice hostel (Bonns Ventos), had a swimming pool and a pool table and
a really good breakfast. As we were only there for a few days we

First impression of Rio? Hot and humid! Second? I didn't realize it was so big. The cab ride from the bus station takes about 30 mins to get to the place where we'll be staying. The sights along the way are great; we see the Christ in the distance; ... Read more >

This morning we woke up around 6am, even though our alarm clock was set for 7. Jetlag! This early start works in our favor though, because we're due to get on a bus headed for Rio. Now we can leave earlier than planned. The jetlag also hit Jason, who ... Read more >

As an American, it's a hassle to enter into Brazil. You have to apply for a visa at the Brazil Embassy before you get on the flight and you have to pay $100 for the application. As almost any other citizen, you can go to Brazil with no visa, no fees, ... Read more >

After our 4 days in Rio – it was time to move on – not because we had exhausted the city, but it is just so expensive to be there. We still were in the company of Steven and James and decided what better place to chill out (a little more) than the ... Read more >
