Hello from Rio de Janeiro! This was our first stop in Brazil and we were very excited to check out the top attractions, sample Brazilian cuisine, and squeeze in a little bit of beach time. We had an action packed week exploring the different neighbouhoods and trying everything from churrasco to brigadeiro, so we decided to film a city guide along the way.

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.

Last Day of School in Brazil
The last day of school went out with a bang! The kids took their final tests but also got to play games, watch a movie and dance. Over all, this last school year was a success. The kids worked so hard both in and outside of school. They completed tons of homework, projects and Portuguese study. We are so proud of them. 2018 school year. Video 98

Visit Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil
Aracaju is the capital of the state of Sergipe, Brazil. It is located on the coast, four hours north of our home in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Many people told us to visit this place because of its great people and tourist attractions. Aracaju was so fun! The Mercado Municipal Governador Albano Franco was the biggest and best market I have seen here in Brazil. The city is a relaxed beach town with a large well-known bridge. There is a wonderful gondola ride over a huge beautiful park that takes you to more hikes and a huge statue. They have a great zoo with beautiful birds, a giant boa constrictor, monkeys and lots more animals. There are tons of amazing restaurants and cool sights like enormous statues of African Gods, crabs and Caju fruit. At night there are parks that have tons of entertainment for kids and families like trampolines, bounce houses and race cars, bumper cars, music and a fun play grounds. It was wonderful. Video 79

Family Travel in Brazil – First Time American Visitors
It is safe to bring your family travel to Brazil? Watch American grandparents tell you their true opinion. Our family came all the way from Nevada and Utah to Salvador, Bahia Brazil. We spent 9 days showing them around Salvador and they loved it. We went to Salvador’s historical district called Pelourinho, Elevador Lacerda, Igreja de São Francisco, and Tuesday night Olodum drumming in Pelourinho. We also ate some great food from street venders. Salvador has the most beautiful beaches, markets and great shopping. Grandpa’s favorite place was Pelourinho but the kids favorite place was Big Jump! Where we had a sleep over and played all night. Overall my family was very impressed, happy, safe, well fed and entertained. They love Brazil and want to come back. Video 100
