Brasileirinho is a small and cozy restaurant located in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, speciallized in homeade brazilian food.
I recommend this place because they serve a real brazilian food and for a very cheap price.
To start, ask for "caldinho de feijão", it's like a soup made with beans, then you can order a plate with rice, beans, "farofa", french fries and a grilled steak. I'm sure you will love it!

This restaurant is located in a very tradicional quarter from Rio de Janeiro. I liked it a lot mainly because of the fresh fish, that goes to the restaurant right after being fish. The music was nice too. On that day they played some popular brazilian music.

It is a beautiful house restored by the owner, a local artist, in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Nice pool, excellent music and a superb view of Guanabara Bay.
The house is located on the Santa Teresa neighborhood, a place of poets, writers, musicians and painters which all are attracted by the rural landscape that is surrounded by the nice traditional architecture and the lovely climate.
It is a unique quarter in Rio de Janeiro that preserves the "bondinho" (the tram).

In March, we rented a fab house in Santa Teresa for my cousin's wedding. There were nine of us and it was awesome as there are verandas, gardens, hammocks, pool and lots of spaces to chill out in, so you're not cramped up in a hotel room like in Copacabana. We even hung out there a couple of nights, trying to make 'capirinhas' from starfruit that fell from the trees in the garden and having a midnight swim in the pool. Another highlight was a restaurant nearby called Aprazivel where we ate up in a treehouse! Santa Teresa is an awesome place to stay regardless - you´re close to the beach but don't feel like just another tourist.
A five-hour tour given by Brazil Expedition that includes a short hike showing the best view of the beaches, the Christ Statue, the old Santa Tereza neighborhood, and an interesting work of art in downtown Lapa. It shows you many sides of Rio that aren't easy or as enjoyable to see on your own with fluent english speaking guides. Great tour, great sights, great experience and great price, I highly recommend it!
This cosy beach hotel is perfect for kitesurfing, it is on the best kite beach and right next to the village centre. There is free fast internet, kite storage etc. Compliments for the friendly English-speaking staff, we fully enjoyed the massages and caipirinhas!
Minas Gerias is truly an amazing world of its own, with a fascinating baroque grandiosity that has been preserved for over two centuries.
There are many small villages and historic cities that are a reflection of the prosperous mining boom of the early 18th century. This vast economic wealth transformed the region and resulted in the Brazilian Golden Age, a movement purely distinct of the Minas Gerias state.
When you walk down the cobble-stoned streets lined with ornate cathedrals painted in pure gold, imposing colonial mansions, and intricate fountains you’ll be transported back to one of the most prosperous times in Brazilian history.
The mountains, prehistoric caves, rivers and national parks of the area are also great places to experience the natural beauty of this historic region.
