What to do in Rio de Janeiro: meet the main tourist attractions

If you have never been to Rio de Janeiro, regardless of whether you are Brazilian or not, it is common to have this doubt of where to go beyond the Christ Redeemer, what are the high points of the city and so on. That’s why I came here to save you when you set up your itinerary to get to know the wonderful city.

The high points of the city are the beaches (obvious). Rio is basically just that, but there are the best beaches to be in and, in my opinion, these are Ipanema beach, Leblon and famous Copacabana.

When passing through Copacabana, be sure to visit the iconic Belmond Copacabana Palace, where I recommend the Sunday Brunch by the pool, or dine at the renowned Cipriani.

Besides the beaches you can visit also:

  • Morro Santa Tereza

Visiting the sights with sight and the famous staircase Selarion is a must stop. Once you are there, enjoy your lunch on the third or pleasant day. I love that hipster part of the city and then stay in the small street bars drinking and enjoying the breeze, it’s like the Vila Madalena in São Paulo.

  • Cristo Redentor

It is inevitable to think about Rio and not want to go to Christ, so consider another mandatory stop. I recommend that you go in the morning and do not miss on the internet if the sky is clear or cloudy and buy your ticket online in advance to avoid filing monstrous.

  • Pão de Açúcar

Automatically is the stop after the visit to Christ. If scheduled in advance, this includes buying the ticket over the internet. In my opinion, the Pão de Açucar has the best view of the city.

  • Museu do amanhã

Get to know Pedra da Gávea, one of the highest peaks in Rio de Janeiro

The Pedra da Gávea trail is the ideal challenge for those looking for adventure, adrenaline and the most beautiful look of Rio de Janeiro – RJ.

The Pedra da Gávea has 842 meters and is one of the most famous rock formations of the wonderful city. Going up Pedra is the dream of many travelers and Cariocas, because from the top of the largest rock block by the sea the world is possible to see the Bay of Guanabara and some of the main beaches of the city of Rio de Janeiro as Ipanema, Leblon, Barra da Tijuca and São Conrado, as well as some other mountains of the Tijuca National Park, such as Tijuca Peak, Papagaio Peak, Pedra Bonita and Corcovado, and on days of blue sky you can also see the mountains of the Serra dos Órgãos.

The Pedra da Gávea trail is considered a very beautiful walk and with several natural obstacles easy to overcome, but most of the time the climb is steep and heavy.

The main challenges on the Pedra da Gávea trail are the great climb of about three to four and a 30-meter stretch of basic level climbing called Carrasqueira. The good thing is that to win the climb in the Carrasqueira is not necessary to have previous experience.

I recommend everyone who wants to make the trail take the backpack with at least 2 liters of water, snack, and repellent. Choose some sneakers without a cushioning system that provides firmness to your feet or, if possible, buy suitable footwear for this type of adventure.

Nyx Cosmetics announces the closure of its activities in Brazil

Who is a fan of makeup will understand the pain we are feeling, Nyx had been in Brazil for a long time and had two phases, the first and most lasting was through kiosks scattered around shopping malls across the country and the second, also the briefest, were the three physical stores in São Paulo, two in Rio de Janeiro and some kiosks still scattered throughout Brazil.

The North American brand was quite successful here because of its strong and vibrant pigments, always bringing news. Unfortunately, in the middle of last year, the stocks were running out and very little came to replace, maybe this was the biggest sign that the brand was not doing well on Brazilian soil.

The announcement was made by Instagram and the post said ” Thank you from the heart for all the joy, energy, passion and enthusiasm to all who welcomed us here. looks along with you, who embraced our brand with so much love. “

Until 24/04 the shops will be open with discounts of up to 50% on all products that are still in stock, it is worthwhile to spend there and leave your last goodbye.

I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that Nyx comes back someday to make the joy of Brazilian fans and makeup artists. The professional brand is one of the most taken into account here for us and the quality has always been impeccable.

Luckily, my friends from the band Jota Quest saw my stories and invited me to enjoy their show at the Arpoador Cabin.

The Arpoador cabin had its first year this year and I found the assembly of the place and the public in general very nice for those who seek to watch the parade in a rhythm of celebration.

On the second and third day of the Carnival of 2019 I chose to go in Camarote Number 1, which, despite being the most expensive, I consider the best cabin in Rio de Janeiro.
