From Iguazu to Rio

After visiting Iguazu falls from the argentian side, we decided to cross the border and enjoy a Brazil East coast! From Foz de Iguazu we went to Florianopolis, Paraty, Ilha Grande and finally Rio for a total 13 days. I share with you the detail of the trip and transportation!

Rio

One week in Rio de Janeiro & Around

Ahhhhh Rio! I think this is one of the best city I’ve ever visited… I’ve been there first for the Carnaval and on various professional trips, and I always enjoyed the weather, the people, the music, the ambiance…

To follow those spendings we used TravelSpend App.
Looking back…
We’ve spent a total of 51€ per person per day (the most expensive of our trip) but we were in the middle of the holidays so I guess the prices were superior than the rest of the year.
