In general staying at a hotel in Rio is cheap compared to most other travel destinations and the marvellous city of Rio de Janeiro offers an unique mixture of exotic adventure, sun, tropical climate, nightlife and beaches to satisfy most needs for a perfect vacation. I think you will agree with me that Brazil is one of the most service oriented countries in the world!

Arriving Brazil – the first meeting with a tropical climate!

Bam! Exiting the plane in Brazil the humid and tropical air hits you, you are finally here after a long journey on the plane, with a sore bum and eager to get to your Rio Hotel.

The feeling of having a wet like sweaty skin is just to get used to. It will stay with your for your whole time. It’s a great feeling to enter another environment than what you’re used to so take it all in. The smells, the sounds, Portuguese.

What can be a little annoying is the Brazilian way of handling time. They have a rather slack perception of it, so 1 o’clock usually means everything from 1 till 2 o’clock. Everything goes a little slower here.

Brazilians also love queues so be prepared to do some waiting in the passport control. Hopefully you already made a reserve with a Rio hotel especially in the high season from November to March because the Rio de Janeiro quickly fills up.

From the Rio airport the easiest thing is getting a taxi if you have allot of baggage. It’s also safer to get transportation directly to your Rio de Janeiro hotel.

From the Sao Paulo airport (guarulhos), there is a tourist information and busses leaving for the Sao Paulo main bus station (rodoviaria). From here there are busses leaving for Rio de Janeiro all the time.

The trip is cheap about $20 and takes 6 hours. But the busses are really comfortable.
