After spending more than a week in Brazil, we can tell you, this is a great place! We spent a couple of days in Rio, stayed in a hostel up the hill in one of the favelas near Copacabana. A nice place to stay, and right in the middle of Brazilian streetlife. People having a shower at the side of the street, children playing everywhere.
Unfortunately we missed out on the beach because the weather wasn´t nice. Instead we did a lot of walking around town, Rio is a beautiful city.
We decided to go to Paraty, known as a little place on the coast, with a historical town centre. As soon as we got there, the sun came out and we had a great day at the beach! The beaches are very beautiful, really blue and shallow water, nice temperature. The fun didn´t last for long when we found out that we were sunburnt for life...
In Paraty Bay there are a lot of different beaches and it is right next to the rainforest. We decided to go Kayaking for a day, rowing around the whole Bay. We managed to get in the Mangroves and saw lots of crabs and fish jumping out of the water. We had a picnic on a big rock near a beach, really remote and a great experience.
Next day was a trip to Trindade, a beach place with different beaches and big waves! We had a walk through some coastal jungle to get to a natural pool, surrounded by big rocks, where you could swim in freezing water, and sunbathe on one of the rocks. The water was very clear and you could see a lot of fish swimming around! A very cool place!
Now we are in Foz de Iguazu, near the big waterfalls which we are going to see tomorrow. Hasta Pronto!
