Hello,
I am planning a trip (already have the tickets) to Rio Brazil with my buddy. I wanted to see if anyone here might have some suggestions that may have recently taken a trip there? Unfortunately I am not the worlds best travel planner. Also I speak no Spanish and no Portuguese, great huh?
In the past I have traveled to Thailand (been 5 times), Japan, Mexico, Canada so I am a moderate traveler. Also i already have my Passport and Tourist visa and have scoured a great site such a ipanema.com which has helped tremendously.
At the moment I have a few concerns:
1. I am not sure if I should stay initially in CopaCabana or Ipanema? My buddy and I are poon hounds so I figured it would be best to spend the first 3-4 days getting used to our surroundings and trying to get some tail, paid for or not is ok with me. Any idea's on this?
2. Places to avoid outright? Current scams running at the moment?
3. General suggestions to make our first trip easier?
4. Hotels that have a good rate that are in a safe area?
I appreciate any help and yes I am going through all the threads here to see if any information pertains to my trip.
Thanks in advance all!
