Our visit Rio De Janeiro travel guide documentary, before the Olympics of 2016, covers some of the top attractions including a food guide (best restaurants and street food), top museums and Rio at night. We also cover off-the-beaten-path activities you won't find in a typical Rio De Janeiro tourism brochure or Rio De Janeiro, Brasil city tour.
25 Things to do in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Travel Guide and Top Attractions Transcript:
First up, we started with the city’s most iconic sight: Christ Redeemer. We boarded the train as soon as the station opened and made our way to the top of Corcovado Mountain. Sometimes the statue can be shielded by fog, but we lucked out with beautiful blue skies and panoramic views of the city as far as the eye could see.
For a bit of colour, we headed over to the Selaron Steps, which is a tiled staircase created by Chilean artist, Jorge Selarón. Initially Selaron would scavenge construction sites looking for tiles, but in later years as his work gained notoriety, travellers began donating tiles.
Since we chose to stay in the neighbourhood of Ipanema, we ended up spending quite a bit of time at Ipanema Beach. We noticed that this beach was really popular for beach football, volleyball, and surfing. And of course, what makes this beach so iconic are its two mountains, known as Dois Irmãos. If you come here on a clear day, you can catch a killer sunset.
No visit to Rio de Janeiro would be complete without heading up Sugarloaf Mountain, so when the skies finally cleared that’s exactly what we did. We paid for our tickets and boarded the cable car for a somewhat unnerving ride up. If you’re scared of heights, this probably isn’t the attraction for you, however, if you manage to make it to the top you get some really cool panoramic views of Rio.
Copacabana Beach is the most famed beach in all of Rio de Janeiro and if you were to visit on a weekend during the summer months you’d find that the place is packed beyond belief. We happened to be here in winter so things were a lot more relaxed, but that didn’t stop visitors from braving the waters.
We did a favela tour to Babilônia and Chapéu Mangueira. On our tour we saw lots of street art, learned about life inside a favela.
And that is a wrap! We hope this video will give you guys some ideas of things to do in Rio de Janeiro on your visit, and for those travellers who have already been there, feel free to add your suggestion of cool activities and attractions in the comments below.
This is part of our Travel in Brazil video series showcasing Brazilian food, Brazilian culture and Brazilian cuisine.

10 principais pontos turisticos de Porto Alegre
Conheça os 10 principais pontos turísticos de Porto Alegre!
1- Mercado Público de Porto Alegre
Sua construção data de 1865 e passou por altos e baixos em termos de popularidade. Hoje sua estrutura e atrativos estão consolidados. O Mercado Público deve ser visitado não somente por ser um dos prédios mais históricos da cidade, mas por oferecer bons restaurantes com comida local, comida de outros estados, alimentos importados e artefatos gaúchos. Dá para passar o dia lá!
2- Usina do Gasômetro
O prédio da Usina do Gasômetro foi inaugurado em 1928 para abrigar uma Usina de Geração de Energia movida à carvão mineral e hoje é espaço para eventos culturais de todos os tipos.
Também é lá o mais tradicional ponto de observação do pôr do sol na cidade. Antes de desembarcar em Porto Alegre, do avião você conseguirá observar a torre do Gasômetro, que tem 107 metros de altura e foi construída em 1937.
3- Praça da Alfândega
A Praça da Alfândega é um dos pontos mais centrais da cidade e também mais tradicionais. É lá que, entre outubro e novembro, acontece (desde 1955) a maior feira do livro a céu aberto da América Latina: a Feira do Livro de Porto Alegre. A Praça é ladeada por algumas das construções mais bonitas da capital gaúcha e que merecem ser visitadas: MARGS (Mudeu de Arte do Estado), Satander Cultural (Museu e espaço de cultura), Memorial do RS e Clube do Comércio.
4- Praça Marechal Deodoro
Esta é a praça que tem em seus arredores, o Palácio Piratini – Sede do Governo do Estado, a igreja Matriz, o Theatro São Pedro, a Assembléia Legislativa, o Museu Júlio de Castilhos e a Biblioteca Municipal. Todos merecem uma visita. Esta praça é muito antiga, a primeira menção local data de 1753.
5- Parque Farroupilha
A Redenção é o ponto de encontro dos domingos à tarde para tomar chimarrão na capital. Com vários monumentos e atividades diversas. Nos sábados tem feira (alimentos, artesanato, obras de arte, etc) e aos domingos tem o já tradicional Brique da Redenção, bem similar aos mercados de pulgas tão comuns na Europa.
Dica: nos finais de semana fica bem movimentada e recebe alguns eventos importantes a céu aberto, como a Parada Livre.
6- Casa de Cultura Mario Quintana
O lindo prédio foi inaugurado em 1933 para abrigar um hotel luxuoso, o Majestic, que na época destacava-se pelo fato de possuir passarelas suspensas por uma via pública. Em seus tempos áureos, hospedou presidentes e artistas importantes. O poeta gaúcho Mário Quintana viveu nesse hotel de 1962 até 1987, ano de sua morte. Nos anos 80 o Governo do Estado adquiriu o prédio e após a morte do escritor iniciou-se o processo para transformação em monumento histórico e espaço de cultura.
7- Calçadão de Ipanema
O bairro de Ipanema na Zona Sul de Porto Alegre também tem um calçadão percorrendo a orla do Guaíba. O local oferece uma linda vista do estuário que banha a cidade e é bem movimentado nos finais de semana. Lá é possível optar por restaurantes ou bancos, além de ser um dos principais pontos de prática de esportes aquáticos da cidade.
8- Parque Moinhos de Vento
O parque é lindo e merece um passeio. Tem um lago com tartarugas e peixes, com um antigo Moinho do local. Está localizado em uma área nobre da cidade. Circule pelas ruas do bairro e veja os casarões antigos que hoje abrigam lojas, bares e restaurantes.
9- Museu Iberê Camargo
O Museu dedicado ao artista gaúcho tem arquitetura curiosa e vale a visita por seu conteúdo. A vista do Guaíba é sensacional.
10- Theatro São Pedro
O prédio foi inaugurado em 27 de junho de 1858, sob a presidência de Ângelo Moniz da Silveira Ferraz, o Barão de Uruguaiana. Em 1862, o Theatro São Pedro tornou-se patrimônio público. Em 1982, o Theatro transformou-se em fundação, possibilitando a arrecadação de empresas privadas para o desenvolvimento das obras e finalização do projeto.

The silent drama of photography | Sebastião Salgado
Economics PhD Sebastião Salgado only took up photography in his 30s, but the discipline became an obsession. His years-long projects beautifully capture the human side of a global story that all too often involves death, destruction or decay. Here, he tells a deeply personal story of the craft that nearly killed him, and shows breathtaking images from his latest work, Genesis, which documents the world's forgotten people and places.

Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, Chile
Valparaíso
Valparaíso is a city and commune of Chile, center of its third largest conurbation (Greater Valparaíso), is located 69.5 miles northwest of Santiago and one of the country's most important seaports; it is an increasingly important cultural center in the Southwest Pacific hemisphere. The city is the capital of the Valparaíso Province and the Valparaíso Region. Although Santiago is Chile's official capital, the National Congress of Chile was established in Valparaíso in 1990.
Valparaíso played an important geopolitical role in the second half of the 19th century, when the city served as a major stopover for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by crossing the Straits of Magellan. Always a magnet for European immigrants, Valparaíso mushroomed during its golden age, when the city was known by international sailors as Little San Francisco and The Jewel of the Pacific.
Viña del Mar
Viña del Mar, is a city and commune on central Chile's Pacific coast. Its long stretches of white sandy beaches are a major attraction for national and international tourists. The city is Chile's main tourist attraction. Known as La Ciudad Jardín (The Garden City), Viña del Mar is a Chilean Municipality located in the Valparaíso Region. Viña del Mar has a population of 286,931, it is Chile's fourth largest city. Viña del Mar is part of the Greater Valparaíso area, the country's third largest metropolitan area, after the Metropolitan areas of Santiago and Concepción. The Greater Valparaíso Area is home to 5 municipalities: Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Concon, Quilpue, and Villa Alemana.
