Worth agreeing on before you meet

Carioca Beach Culture

The beach is not a place — it is a way of life. Cariocas go to the beach year-round, spend hours with friends, and have their "home" posto (lifeguard station). Rent a chair, order a drink, and settle in. Rushing through the beach misses the entire point.

Samba & Music

Samba is Rio's heartbeat. In Lapa, live samba pours out of every bar on weekends. Roda de samba (samba circles) happen in neighbourhood squares and are free. The music pulls you in — dancing is expected, even if you have no idea what you are doing.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Sugarloaf Mountain travel guide.
