1. USE COMMON SENSE!! – This may sound like a no brainer, but please USE COMMON SENSE!! Do not try to do things you would never do at home in Rio. While partying KNOW YOUR LIMITS and using the buddy system. If you have a bad feeling about something it probably is a good idea to avoid that situation or get out of it!! – use common sense and judgment!!
2. STAY WITHIN THE SOUTH PART OF THE CITY: (Leme, Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon) – During the day, it is best that you stay within the south zone (look at map). All of the great beaches are located there as well as plenty of restaurants and places to shop. Barra de Tijuca is also a safe place in the West Zone, but it is a bit further from where you will be staying. Anywhere around the mountains or hills (“FAVELAS”) should be avoided. Favelas can be dangerous and should not be taken lightly.
