The 4 Most Important Tips for Whom is Going to Rio! Exchange, Hosting, Transfer and Internet
Rio de Janeiro is one of the most visited places in the world, its natural beauty, its beaches and untouched islands, the rhythm of Samba and the kindness of the Brazilian people are the main factors that take tourists to visit the Wonderful City, but it is a trip that if it is not well planned can go from the Budget, below follow the 4 main Tips for who comes to visit us!
- Lodging
- Exchange
- Transfer
- Mobile Internet
1 – Lodging
The largest part of the people who send these tips already have accommodation, but even so we believe it is a fact that we can not stop talking, I’ll be quick and at the end of that topic I leave a link for a post where I talk more about each District of the City of Rio.
Stay in Copacabana, it is the best option for security and ease of transportation, if the budget is not enough, neighborhoods like Botafogo> Flamengo> Catete> Centro, in that order, are also good.
I indicate that they look for apartments season in the https://www.homeaway.es/ or in https://www.booking.com, they usually get better price than hotels =]

2 – Exchange:
The most important factor of a trip, if you get a good price, the whole trip is cheaper!
I speak without any fear to Cambien everything that can in Chile directly for Reals because the price of the houses of Change in Rio are Terrible.
But if for some reason they can not change for Royals, come with dollars, the price of the change of the Chilean peso in Rio is 30% more expensive than the dollar.
Never make a change at the Rio Airport, the prices are too expensive!
In Copacabana there are many exchange houses and the price of the exchange of the Dollar for the Real is more acceptable, normally we indicate the house of Change “San Diego Cambio”, which is in the Av Nossa Senhora de Copacabana 945, since they usually have a good price. change, but sometimes it is possible to find better offer.
3 – Transfer:
As well as in 90% of the Tourist Cities when we arrive at the Airport and we look for a transport to go to Our Lodging we remain without knowing in Who Really we can trust, in Rio is not different.
There are 3 options that we consider good to reach Your accommodation:
Taxis with Fixed Price: It is the form that we indicate more are the taxis of the stores Aerocoop or Aerotaxi, the price is higher than it would be with Taximeter, but in less the Taxista will not go around to charge more expensive. a taxi with up to 4 spaces up to Copacabana is for R $ 78 on weekdays and R $ 88 on weekends and at dawn, they charge a rate of R $ 2 for luggage as well.
Good cost benefit, it takes about 20 to 40 minutes to get to Copacabana (depends on traffic)
It is worth noting that the return charge R $ 50 regardless of the schedule and number of baggage
Bus from the Airport: leaving at the first door of the international landing there is a bus stop and there are the Buses of the Airport for Copacabana and Barra, careful not to take the wrong one, the Price is currently R $ 18 reales per person.
Cheap, but left 40 in 40 min and takes about 1h to 2h to get to Copacabana (depends on traffic)
* Uber: * “The best”, but you need internet to call, you have to go to the 3rd floor to board the Ubers and for many times there is an audit, there is hardly a problem but it may take a while.
Better cost benefit, but because of the impossibility for those who do not have internet, it ends up not being the most indicated
