Rio de Janeiro is at the entrance to Guanabara Bay. Ilha de Paquetá is an island further up the bay. No cars - horse-drawn carriages take you around the island. Lovely old colonial homes. A haven from the frenetic pace of Rio.

From Estaco dos Barcas - the boat station by Praca Quinze in Rio - the ferry takes 75 minutes to Paqueta while the hydrofoil takes about 20 minutes.

The biggest football stadium in the world! Try and get to a Flamengo game - their fans are crazy! Excellent football! Great atmosphere! They don't sell beer so the crowds aren't drunk - they behave that way because they are excited!

Everyone in Rio can direct you to Maracana. It is a stop on the Metro.
