Question

What can i do in rio de janeiro, brazil (going for 2 days)?

Answer 1

Too many things really...I would suggest the following:

Visit Maracana, Sugar Loaf mountain and Corcovado

Do take a Helicopter tour over Rio and also plan a cruise to the Tropical Islands.

Sunbath and swim at Copacabana and Ipanema.

Visit Rio's Carnivale Town and dine at Lapa Star House.

These are a few of the things I did and really really loved!

Answer 3

A friend just returned from spending two days there.  He said the tourist areas are great, but there is a lot of the city to avoid for various reasons.  There are a lot of slums, and there are gangs  that roam around many areas.  Just don't take any chances, especially after dark.  Check it out on the internet for tips.
