In this episode we go to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and share where we stayed, all the best things to do in Rio and share a few tips we learned that will make your visit to Rio a success, like using an airalo e-sim.
Highlights of this trip were taking in the views atop Sugarloaf Mountain, riding the cogwheel train to the top of Corcovado Mountain to visit the Christ the Redeemer statue, and walking along the boardwalk of Copacabana beach. Check out all of the tours we think are worth doing in Rio in our Rio de Janeiro Viator Shop.
We stayed right on Copacabana beach at the Windsor Leme Hotel. The rooftop pool had fantastic views of the beach and the dining area had views of the Christ the Redeemer statue. Another great beach is Ipanema Beach and Atlantis Copacabana Hotel straddles both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches.
This Rio de Janeiro trip is the start of a Gate1 guided tour that continued on to Iguazu Falls and Buenos Aires, Argentina so listen to those episodes too!
