My daughter and I took the Tijuca forest small group tour, it was one of the best tours we have…read moredone over the last 10 years of traveling. Our tour was 3 participants, the tour guide Luiza, and our driver (I believe his name was Rafael). Luiza was full of knowledge about the rainforest and Rio. Both were looking for wildlife for us to see. luckily we saw a sloth, toucans, bees, spider. I was the slow poke, and slowed our group down but they were all very patient. The views in the rainforest are amazing. Well worth the money, and you won't be disappointed with this tour, especially if you get Luiza and Rafael.

Is it possible to give this company more than 5 stars because they deserve it! We first read about…read morethem online on a Google search. We reached out to them and had the pleasure of exchanging emails with Anna who was more than helpful in answering our 1000 questions. They provided all the information we needed to be ready for our hike. We decided to go with the Tijuca Forest Adventure Full-Day Hike. When the day came, we met Tito who was our guide for the day. We couldn't have been any luckier! I would have not chosen another person to lead us on this hike. Tito did an amazing job through out the hike with encouraging us and being super supportive. We never felt unsafe because he made us feel completely comfortable and you could tell he loved doing this. The hike itself was not the easiest, but we did not give up and all the spots we stopped at were worth it. He took us on different trails so that we could see the most we could. Tito was also very knowledge and did a great job giving us a little history lesson on Brazil. The sites we stopped at were beautiful and you really get to experience the beauty of nature in the Tijuca rainforest. Tito also recommend some spots to check out while in Rio and they were spot on. I cannot wait to return and book another adventure with them! If you want a great guide who will take you on the best hike of your life, Jungle Me is the place for it.

One could think it is a scene out of a small town on the countryside. But it happens in…read moreLaranjeiras, one of Rio's nice residential neighborhoods. Every weekend a dedicated group of locals gather around to make music at a sweet square bandstand. They bring in professional equipment and every Saturday, from 6 to 11 pm, put excited locals and gringos to dance around and sing along. Samba, obviously -- Rio's favorite soundtrack. The happy music on the square has families blending in with a young and relaxed crowd, lively chatting with their beer cans in hand. A few restaurants around the square sell food and draft beer, so you can grab a bite after the music, too. Every time I visited São Salvador's traditional Saturday afternoons I felt warmly welcomed. It sums up some of the carioca's friendliness and it is a great place to mingle and make friends. Friday nights and Sunday mornings also offer a good amount of music and fun. You can't really go wrong here.

On Sundays, the hippie fair goes all day with craft vendors and stands selling acarajé and other foods from the northeast. Around the square are several lanchonetes selling juices and snacks, a good cafe Terzetto, and several bars including my favorite Bel Monte. It's only a block from the beach and also includes the southern-most metro stop (until the new stations in Leblon and Barra open, hopefully in time for the olympics). There's a small playground for kids and also a bike rental station for the orange Itau city bikes!
