Rio de Janeiro during the carnival
From the start, we planned to fly to South America in February, so Rio immediately topped the list of places to visit. You can’t miss the opportunity to experience the biggest carnival in the world!
How to experience the Rio carnival without going bankrupt
Lots of people dream to visit Rio de Janeiro during the carnival. We already have this amazing experience behind us, so we can share several first-hand thoughts and tips!
In the concrete jungle of São Paulo
The largest city of Brazil and all of South America. Over 20 million inhabitants - sounds overwhelming. The term “concrete jungle” fits São Paulo perfectly. We liked getting lost in its thicket much more than we expected at the beginning.
Curitiba - the less Brazilian side of Brazil
It is a pity that we got to Curitiba at the very beginning of the journey. We would certainly appreciate the undeniable “European” nature of the city if we were more homesick. We just didn’t have the need to feel like on the Old Continent!
A hitchhiker's guide to Brazil
Brazil is the 42nd country where we tried hitchhiking. Three weeks is definitely not enough to see such a huge, diverse country, so we limited ourselves to the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraná. The report from our hitchhiking experiences applies only to this area.
