this was by Navegantes, 40 min from BC, and near Maringa, rated always on the top 3-5 of best quality of life cities in Brazil

jeniapus 12d

Maybe it's crack in the matrix

jeniapus 12d

Now the dangerous places are safe😂😂

jeniapus 12d

And the not dangerous are dangerous

anderjaska 12d

Cheap Spotify hahaha

anderjaska 12d

Going to Ubatuba next week if anyone else is

maristia 12d

LOL. In Argentina it's even cheaper

rcsligar 11d

Arriving in Pipa Jan 8th, hyped for it

modfri 11d

I researched and tried a few days ago but come accross some sources saying that the online process is not available anymore for foreigners (since end of 2023). I sent my request anyway (worth trying) but didn't get any automated answer as we are supposed to

jeniapus 11d

Depends what you need it for

maristia 11d

Me

maristia 11d

Yes

maristia 11d

Wrong. I did it 4 months ago and it was super quick

maristia 11d

I don't have either of my parents names in my passport but I had no issues. If you want, I can tell you exactly which documents I sent, the exact email body, and the email address

bradforddean 11d

Anyone in Rio want link up for drinks?

modfri 11d

Really? Nice! Having hope then, let's see. Thanks for the information

Hello, anyone can recommend me coliving spaces in Fortaleza?

pablos 8d

Anyone going to Carnival ? I’m considering Ouro Preto

goncalohall 8d

Yes but in Rio de Janeiro. Already here 🙂

goncalohall 8d

Anyone living in Barra da Tijuca? Thinking about organising a meetup here if there's someone around but it looks like its the best kept secret on the best places to live in Rio ahaha

mikecruz 8d

From what i've seen in reddit BH is preferred to Curitiba. Anyone can share some insights to this? Thank you 🙂

vasconcelos 8d

Finallly someone here tried the best Brazilian food: northern food!

goncalohall 8d

Bh is good for the startup scene, really good there. Curitiba I have some friends there but they all wanted to leave so I am not sure about it 😅

goncalohall 8d

Let me know if you pass by Rio, will be here for a while

mrb000 7d

I'm in floripa (ingleses), someone ?

vasconcelos 7d

Hmmm it depends your vibe, totally different places

omtare 7d

BH boring unless youre looking for beer, football and/or women 😅

vasconcelos 7d

Or steepy streets

omtare 7d

Or pão de queijo

nopiqueviajante 7d

Curitiba is a beautiful city, quite cold but safe. How do you like it so far?

rcsligar 7d

Anyone worked remotely in Manaus?

vasconcelos 7d

Well, i live 22 years in the city of Belém, neighbor of Manaus

vasconcelos 7d

Its definitely possible, but beware, its extremely dangerous, take care :)

rcsligar 7d

I’ve visited the Colombian Amazon but not Brazil, I have heard it’s dangerous

rcsligar 7d

Santarem is also dangerous?

goncalohall 7d

Check Alter do Chao. It’s the entry to Amazonia and was advised to me by some high level people as the safest way to explore the region.

rcsligar 7d

I was thinking of going there after Pipa

goncalohall 7d

Pipa is the best though ahaha haven’t find a better place in Brazil yet.

nopiqueviajante 7d

Colombia and Brazil is same same, you’ll be fine in the Amazon here in Brazil, actually is insane! The most beautiful place I’ve been in Brazil. “Presidente Figueiredo” is a must

nopiqueviajante 7d

People are lovely. But be aware ofc, same as in Colombia. you’re “gringo”

rm 7d

I did. Spent around 4 months there

rm 7d

No issues with internet connectivity etc. Manaus is huge and has all the amenities you'd expect in a Brazilian capital.

levelsio 7d

I wear sunglasses to look less gringo

Apparently my eyes look most non-Brazil

rcsligar 7d

I have heard that from a lot of people including some who don’t usually like small beach towns for long stays

rcsligar 7d

I was thinking of taking the santarem - Manaus boat

knands42 7d

Are you guys in Sao Paulo for new year's day?

jcoutz 7d

Lmao what a weird sentence

jcoutz 7d

BH is boring unless you're looking for fun

rcsligar 7d

I spent a few months in puerto leguiziamo - may have misspelled it, in Colombia and have good memories from meeting a nice family there who runs a hostel

omtare 7d

There's nothing to do there except drink

omtare 7d

Which you can do anywhere

rm 7d

Not true, you can also park on Rua do Amendoim and watch your car go against gravity

nopiqueviajante 7d

Hahahaha that’s true

erick 5d

Are you planning on coming to Rio anytime soon?

levelsio 4d

Nah too dangerous

Was in Leblon a bit was nice though

levelsio 4d

Staying safely in South Brazil 😃

levelsio 4d

Rio and Sao too dangerous for me imho

levelsio 4d

So many bad stories

levelsio 4d

Friends gun to their heads etc fuck all of that

regiani 4d

What bothers me the most is even on a high budget you're exposed to crime,

lsousa 4d

Stay away from capitals. Come to Búzios / Cabo Frio area and you are good

lsousa 4d

Buzios infrastructure is decent, many people speak English/ Spanish and the city has a huge amount of amazing beaches

lsousa 4d

Only con is that if you want to go to the capital the traffic can be a bit tricky, but nothing beats Bali anyways, if you are used to that, get a book and chill in the bus, which is comfy

goncalohall 4d

Barra da Tijuca is quite nice and not dangerous. Landed 3 weeks ago and loving it.
I like Leblon but tourists donattract more crime.
Here I am surrounded by locals, walk without problems in the street and even work outside in the cafés.

goncalohall 4d

Buzios sounds nice though, mah visit soon.

rm 4d

I love Búzios but I spotted CV graffiti there just as you do elsewhere in Rio

rm 4d

So it's not exactly a safe haven

rm 4d

That said, yes, capitals are usually orders of magnitude more dangerous than the interior. But the interior is also orders of magnitude more boring

lsousa 4d

My apt in Montreal was broken when I was on vacation last year. There is no safe heaven anywhere
You can mitigate your risks for sure.
My family left the capital many years ago and nobody goes back there.
I am bouncing between Saquarema, Cabo frio, búzios and arraial do cabo without any issues so far
Texting from public transport at any time, taking public transport 1am and so on

lsousa 4d

I know the drill here too, for some other people could be different

lsousa 4d

The bad reputation Rio has will be hard to revert. But if you want to give a chance to the city, also consider the “Região dos Lagos”, which is much safer
And especially Búzios, which again, has the best infrastructure around

rm 4d

That comparison makes no sense imo. Yes there is and has always been crime everywhere, but odds are astronomically lower you'll be a victim of violent crime in Montreal. It doesn't really need to be said that we're talking about risk mitigation and not exactly absolute security

vmiguel 4d

grattifi you will spot in every city on earth :D

lsousa 4d

All I am trying to say is that I don’t feel Rio is as bad as people say, and this is a bad reputation that will be very hard to change

goncalohall 4d

Yeah I agree. Rio is quite amazing.

rm 3d

Yeah for sure, it's one of my favorite cities

bohdandrozdov 3d

I am planning to visit Cachoeira da Fumacinha (Bahia) in April

https://maps.app.goo.gl/M9s4WTaHqv5iGmut8

do you know if there is something else to do around?

margacamps 3d

Hi! Some recommendation about zone to sleep in Rio and São Paulo?

lsousa 3d

Between Leblon and Flamengo you are good (from the most expensive to the least)

bohdandrozdov 3d

bfcevgevjppdayx maybe you know?

lsousa 3d

check this guy on IG: https://www.instagram.com/leoguiatrekkingchapada/ he has some tips there. if you can afford a guide, that would be cool too. not sure if he speaks english though

bohdandrozdov 3d

thanks!

rm 3d

For SP: Jardins, Pinheiros, Moema, Perdizes, Itaim Bibi

margacamps 3d

Thank you guys vunegktf hjsgvrmgbwgmuz

jcoutz 3d

Rio sucks, but Búzios is amazing, love it there

goncalohall 3d

Barra is by far the best place to live in Rio right now.

nthnjns 2d

Thanks, heading to SP for a month and need a nice hood to live in.

jcoutz 2d

I'd short it to jardins/pinheiros/Moema, as Itaim has terribly shitty mobility and perdizes so so

brunozeraik 2d

Hello nomads!
Planning to visit rio de janeiro in two weeks
Any hostel recommendation with a good place to work?

And if someone will be there and want meet just text me 😁

jcoutz 2d

Mango tree in Ipanema

brunozeraik 2d

Thxx

pablos 2d

Recreio dos bandeirantes also good

joelbqz 2d

Hi! planning to spend a month in Floripa, any recs on neighborhoods? is it worth to stay in downtown and move around using Uber?

nthnjns 1d

Ok fewer options is better for me. Thank you.

arevsteffen 23h

I suggest staying around Novo Campeche or Rio Tavares. Not worth going around Ubers, very unreliable to find them. Avoid peak time traffic at all cost.

mikecruz 19h

Anyone knows alternatives to airbnb to find places to rent for carnaval in rio?
