Brazil is an incredibly diverse place. In Salvador de Bahia African culture dominates, in Sao Paolo its Italian and Japanese while southern cities like Blumenau are more German than Germany itself.

This video perfectly captures the essence of Rio de Janeiro! The city's unique blend of natural beauty, vibrant culture, and warm-hearted people always leaves a lasting impression. As a tour guide who's had the privilege of connecting with renowned travel KZfaqrs like Czech in effect and Ace Live during their time here, it's wonderful to see others getting inspired to explore this incredible destination.

About the coffee with sugar that you talked about, it’s not common for the places to put sugar inside your coffee without telling the customer first. The most common is for the sugar being there in the table and the customer putting it or not.

Top mano …. Essa lista é muito boa! 🤙

Thank you so much for making this video clear as Crystal 🎉❤

Sly, your list was definitely solid based on what I saw there in February. I can't wait to go back next Feb for round 2 in Rio.

I always enjoy watching your video. It is so much fun to go on the journey with you. 😊👍

Thanks, this is helpful!

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

Thank you for this info

Sly, great video as always!

Thank you for this info because I never thought about electrical outlets and Rio sounds like my type of place and my type of people, also I'm glad you mentioned the weather and the time of year to travel there, great info video.

Very good advice!

Great Job

You've got a lot of points right. Rio is the most touristic city in South America. I've spent several Brazilian winters here when accommodations are half or a third of the peak season prices and just a bit less madness. The outlets are not just the problem, it's the electrical wiring in the old buildings. I've had several ac adapters burned. Hope you're enjoying your stay!

Cool video, I liked & subscribed, I live SF Bay Area but have visited Rio & Bahia, pre-pandemic. My two roommates are there, now.

Good advice. 👍🏾

Thanks bro, I love Brazil

I’m Brazilian. I live in Rio de Janeiro.🇧🇷

I LOVE your observations about what Brazilians look like. I think sometimes North Americans think Latin Americans all look similar. Maybe what they think of as 'Latinos' is based on the Spanish speaking peoples Americans have most contact with like Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans etc. They maybe don't know for example that there are places in Latin America where there are many people of just indigenous descent like Bolivia. There are areas where there are many people of African descent like parts of Colombia and Cuba. There are places where people are almost all of European descent like Argentina and Uruguay. Peru had a Japanese Peruvian president called Fujimori. Chile's first president was called Bernardo O'Higgens who had Irish blood. And you get them ALL in Brazil. In the north you get a lot of black Brazilians and in the south there are a lot of blue eyed, fair haired people of German descent (like Gisele Bündchen!). And the biggest concentration of people of Japanese descent outside of Japan is in São Paulo, Brazil. So nobody can ever look at you and say 'you don't look Brazilian!' I love that you noticed and I've never heard a travel KZfaqr mention it before. Worth a sub. PS I heard that people wanting fake passports love Brazilian passports for this reason! No matter what they look like they can pass as Brazilian. 🤣🇧🇷

I was in Brazil 1981 to 1982 I have a good time there , use to be their currency is cruzeros now they change now, I missed Brazil thinkin going back soon, cool video men

Good video. You should put out a safety guide too. Would really help. Keep up the great work.

I'm going to Rio in June. Thanks for the advice.

Me and Río share the putting a teaspoon of sugar in coffee. Good video again Sly!

I've been to many Countries in South America and Central America and they do drink coffee with sugar as well. Or without sugar. Is upon the person's taste...

I lived in Mexico for Most of my childhood. Yes, they do put plenty of sugar in their coffee as well as cream. They make a bread called pan duro its made to dip in hot sweet coffee.

Great safety tips. I'll be traveling there alone and I'm going to take a small dry bag with me when I'm in the water, tethered to my wrist. I'll look completely ridiculous but even leaving it with a friendly old lady is not something I'd consider.

I love Brazil, and the Brazilians I've met are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I'll add one things depending on which state you visit the electricity could be 220v. if your device isn't auto switching beware electric shavers, curling irons, hair dryers, clothes steamers

Good video. I miss rio

Great Job Travel Brazil

There is a nightlife spot in Barra da Tijuca / Jardim Oceânico. At Avenida Olegário Maciel. I am yet to see foreign KZfaqrs making videos there but it is also a good nightlife spot just like Leblon and Botafogo.

Hay quá

Rio💗..love..💗

Good evening. Did you experience blackouts in Rio de Janeiro Brazil?

What is the best way to go about getting data? e-sim? cell phone both? etc. What was that like for you?

One more thing that everyone who's planning on going to Rio de Janeiro needs to know is there is no rail service of any type to Rio's airports. Rio de Janeiro does have a metro system that serves many areas well. However, it has not been directly connected to the airports. Fortunately, travelers can take advantage of the frequent bus service that serves the airports. The buses can be taken for just the equivalent of a few US dollars to metro stops about a dozen kilometers away from the airport. Travelers need to be certain they get on the right bus to ensure they don't end up in a part of town they really don't want to be in. Once you reach a metro station, you can board a train to Ipanema, Copacabana, or most of the other major tourist destinations quite easily. In total, it should be possible for most travelers to get from the airport to the hotel for less than the equivalent of 15 USD. Many can probably do it for less than $10. Maybe if you're reading this many years after I'm writing this, Rio de Janeiro might have built a new metro line to at least one of its airports. The main international airport is on an island right across from the main university in Rio de Janeiro as well. A metro line that connects these two major trip generators to the rest of the metro system makes a lot of sense, but as of right now, there are no plans to actually do it. Fortunately, the bus connections to the airport are quite good if perhaps a little confusing for first-time visitors. Still, it's worth figuring it out because taxi scams and dishonest Uber drives are quite common in Brazil. If you are going somewhere where you absolutely must take a taxi, please make absolutely certain you are riding with a legitimate service. Many hotel front desk agents will help arrange tours and transportation for you and warn you about scams and dishonest companies.

Just ask Coffee without sugar and you will get that. Many people are on a diet, so coffee without sugar is also avaiable.

Your Portuguese is great! Congratulations! Btw, I don't drink sugar and most of the places you order a coffee it doesn't come with sugar. Maybe you didn't get to the right place to order a coffee! 🤔

You said that you saw people that looked like tourist, I did the same thing. And I was wrong every time so for . I’m on a trip in rio as I writing this lol. The second thing a lot of people are very friendly and talk to me but barely any body speaks English.

Merci pour la traduction en français 😊🎉

Have you been to Barra da Tijuca and Recreio, Sly?

Can I stay there

0:27 for me, Brazil means lots of friendly hot people and sunshine.

Sly hope you’re doing well brother

🤲🤲🌴🌴🌴

heading to Rio this week Sly let me know if you want to connect!

Is marijuana legal in Brazil?

4:30 “When you get to rio you look Brazilian” I can tell people I’m from Brazil and they will believe me.

3:30 - 🇧🇷 Money

All those different types of people drink coffee without sugar 😕!! I never noticed that, but when they come to the State's they want sugar..lol 😆

How is the street crime there?

In The New Heaven on Earth there is going to be the standard USA energy outlet.

Those "some people" are Americans or US citizens in the 99% of the times

beautyfull country .....but people are very dangerous .......................SAD......................SAD.😟
