Rio de Janeiro Itinerary
by a local
Rio isn't the Copacabana beach vendor charging tourists R$40 for a caipirinha. Cariocas hang at Posto 9 in Ipanema, catch samba at Pedra do Sal on Mondays, and hike to the Two Brothers viewpoint.
Beach barracas, favela funk, samba nights.
The three swaps a local would make
Corcovado package taxi from Copacabana
Cog train from Cosme Velho with off-peak entry
Rooftop bar with cruise-ship queue
Sunset from Pedra do Arpoador for free
Overpriced favela 'safari' jeep
Community-guided walking visit to Vidigal
