Rio de Janeiro Warnings Or Dangers Tips by tere1

Be careful while in Rio!

Rio is considered a dangerous city . That doesn't mean you should keep it out of your travel plans. Just make sure you have a few precautions while there.

Don't walk in the Copacabana interior area at night. it's a zone where robbery is usual. Be sure that you don't look like a tourist. That means not to have your camera at sight , don't use any jewels or watches. If you need a watch use a plastic one. Carry only a small amount of money and if you think you won't need your credit card leave it at the hotel.

This also apllies to the beach. Don't leave your belongings unattended. Groups of children and teenagers can appear suddenly in the beach and robb you even during daylight, so don't take with you anything valious. And the most important of all, if you ever get robbed don't offer any resistance. That's the worst thing you can do! I don't want to scare you but many people were injured or even killed because they offered resistance when they were being robbed.
