Might just book a flight into Rio and out of Sao Paulo and play it by ear. Hopefully tourists will be able to go sometime this year.

If your goal is to race in / race out, you could hit the two major sites Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado mountain and Sugarloaf mountain in two days / one night.
If you tack on more time, you can consider other options. You have to remember beach or no beach, Rio is a green city. It is cut into a mountainous rainforest. Sao Paulo is an urban jungle. I like to take the historic tram up into the hills of Santa Teresa and have lunch (or a before sunset dinner) with a view. It is a historic neighborhood with nice, older homes. You can checkout the nearby Selaron Steps that you see in the Snoop Dogg / Pharrell "Beautiful" video.
I also like to have breakfast / lunch at the Cafe Lage in the mansion courtyard of Parque Lage. It's also featured in the video. In fact, the video is a good warm-up for a Rio visit. There are many hot Cariocas in it. The video might also change your mind about the beach.
The city center does not have a lot of history left. There are some old churches. Many people go to the modern Rio Cathedral which is interesting. The Sambadrome attracts visitors even though there is not much to see without a parade.
Last but not least, on certain nights the Samba schools host parties. There's usually music, cheap drinks and dancing. You can flirt here with some Brazilian women. Unless you are under 45, I wouldn't flirt with the really young girls. You'll likely get more response from the more mature women. Rio women are jaded from tourists thinking they all want to jump in bed with the first foreigner they meet.
Lapa has a famous large street party on Friday nights that spills into the side streets and bars in the area. The center of the action starts at Arcos the Lapa. In fact depending on the season, the Rio street parties can be found around the city.

Posts: 437Read through the past 100 pages and want to say thanks to everyone who posted, shame what happened to ABG, he seemed like a great guy.
My next trip is going to be either to Ghana or Brazil, whichever opens up first, I'm hoping Brazil but unfortunately things aren't looking good at the minute.
Sao Paulo looks much better to me mongering wise, which is the main objective of my trip and decent food and Rio doesn't appeal to me that much as I'm not into beaches.
How many nights would you lot spend in Rio to see the tourist stuff before going to Sao Paulo for the rest of the trip?
Also does anyone else offer a similar service to ABG?
Thanks in advance.

Beautiful girls can easily be had for that price range.
$50 dollars is about 185 mil pesos in Colombia now.
Plenty enough.
The same though is true in Brasil.
Both places have high end, low end, and in the middle.
It has been said many times, and it's true; what you pay doesn't really correlate to either quality or performance.

Posts: 310That's about right. Flights stop at 11 or so but start up at 6 or 7 AM. True for Itami Bibi as well but I learned to live with it. If you are very noise sensitive you might consider elsewhere.

I presume your buddy, Lew Ashby, must be either very lucky or very handsome. You did mention that you have not been there yet. I would be curious to read your reports after you get a chance to visit Medellin.

Like everyone else I am just waiting around, watching the new virus case numbers, and wondering which countries are going to open up first. Brazil seems to be having a bad stretch at the moment. I hope they get a handle on things soon. It would be great to visit Sao Paulo again in November. I am looking forward to meeting a lot of pretty girls there. I know Scandallo is one of your favorite places. It is on the top of my list of places to go.
Take care,
NB.
