You're in for a true Brazilian experience. Luckily this post office is close to General Osorio,…read morewhich means plenty of transportation to get to and from (buses, cabs, metro). It is not air conditioned so be prepared for a long hot wait. There's an electronic kiosk off to the side where you can get a ticket to wait in the queue. There's three options to chose from on the machine: priority mail, standard mail and stamps etc (it's all in Portuguese). The lines are called by letter and number which pop up on the tv screen behind the counter and are shouted out when people don't come right away. They also indicate what number counter you should approach. It took about an hour to mail a package, nearly 30 mins in line to get a box and then we were pushed out of line to fill out the address and waited in line again to mail it. (The lady only took one customer in between but things move at a snail's speed). The prices for packages seemed quite reasonable. It cost R$15 for their largest box (25cm x 57cm x 36cm) and R$43 to mail 6.6kg to Santa Catarina. They said it would take 5-7 days to get there. Be prepared to wait a while but that's what it takes to get things done around here.

It's the 3 rd time I bought ,from clothes to 3 aircraft models and the Correios of Brazil vanished…read morewith all of them , it were there for over a month so they shipped back to the seller, and after another month they sent me a new message that my orders were there and I haven't picked up,a month after they said they sent back? Don't waist you time for Complaining as this is a company own by the government and they will give nothing for what you said instead Use UpS or FEDEX if you want to receive them

Don't bother sending anything to Brazil. Your family or friends may never get the package. I sent…read morea package on December 23, 2017, and today is March 2, 2018 and the package still has not been delivered. On the tracking system, it says it made it through customs on February 8th. Brazil is also very particular about what you send. No food, used items, etc. Check the list. If you do send, plan on it getting delivered in 3-4 months.

So after an unsuccessful trip to the federal police at GIG (to get registered so we don't get…read moredeported), we decided to get our CPF number. Go to the post office. Pay $R6. Get an acai as a reward. Should be easy! But alas, t was not. :( And I'm now sitting on my couch eating an apple, CPF-less. However, this process allowed me to check out the postal system in Rio which was pretty neat. You take a number and wait to be called, very orderly. Although there were several folks waiting when we arrived, there were three employees working and everything moved at a brisk pace. My positive review is for the woman who patiently helped us. Although we were able to pay for the CPF at this location, she directed us to another building in Ipanema for the next steps, taking time to write out the address on a piece of paper before sending us on our way.

Yes, it is far. Yes, it takes you a while to get here. Totally worth it. The Niemeyer building is…read morethe perfect way for the nature to express its glory. Those big glasses all over the museum makes you feel you are floating on an island in the middle of nowhere. Just come and see it for yourself. Even all the way driving here it's amazing the views you'll get. The collection is not the best, it's short and I only enjoyed the 3rd floor. Si, es lejos. Si, te toma tiempo llegar hasta acá. Vale la pena totalmente. El edificio de Niemeyer es la forma perfecta para que la naturaleza se despliegue y exprese en toda su gloria. Esos ventanales enormes en todos los pasillos hace que te sientas flotando en una isla en el medio de la nada. Veni y experiméntalo vos. Incluso, todo el camino en auto hasta aquí tendrás unas vistas impresionantes. La colección no es la mejor, no hay mucho y solo disfrute el 3er piso.

We were recommended to eat at MAC by a local while visiting Camino de Neimeyer in Niteroi. What a…read morepleasant experience! It is located below the Museum of Contemporary Art. First of all you will see a breathtaking view of Rio (Sugar Loaf, Christ Redemer). It is an excellent place for pictures and to know Oscar Niemeyer's (architect) work. Once you have finished taken pictures and visiting the museum, step down into the restaurant MAC. Very classy, elegant and also with a view. The menu it is not long and you have variety. We ordered fish, chicken and beef. All flavors were delicious with the perfect side to match. Fish covered with tapioca crust with dark quinoa and steamed veggies. Curry chicken with almond rice and potato balls. Beef bourguignon with linguini. Lemon Pie. All flavors were amazing and we could not choose a favorite! It is pricier compared to previous experiences at other places, but it is definitely worth it!!!
