Carioca tips

Rio de Janeiro is the second biggest city of Brasil ( the first is Sao Paulo) but if you have only a few days in Brasil, I'd say come to Rio first if you want to say you know Brasil.

Although the problems my city has,for me it's hard to think to live anywhere else, I still prefer to stay and try to make it a better place to live.

In my Rio's page I'm trying to put some tips of the places people of Rio ( cariocas ) usually go , answers to questions in the forum and local advices.

All of my restaurants tips are about restaurants I'm used to go and they are located mostly in Flamengo area where I live or downtown area where I work; I'll try to put the date of my last visit, this way they can be more helpful.

Benvindos ao coracao do Brasil !

Cons:"Violence and poverty"
