What can I say Rio was awesome. We stayed at the Hilton in Copacabana. The rooftop had some of the best views. Be sure to have as many Caipirinhas as you can...ask for extra liquor. We had our own private driver. We hit Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, we did Samba lessons and went to the various Samba clubs in Lapa (neighborhood known for bars,clubs, and samba jams), Little Africa, Seleron Steps, Olympic Blvd, the day it was raining we visited Museu do Amanhã, Santa Teresa. Our Private driver even took us to Rocinha Favela in the none tour area. We also did Uber. Didn't feel unsafe at all. There were plenty of great restaurants around our hotel to visit. Visited Feira Hippie de Ipanema for souvenirs. Also visited Jardim Botanical Gardens, Pedra do Telégrafo ( I wanted to quit 5 times) but the view was amazing, and Parque Large. I can't wait to visit again
