Just came back from a week in Rio, stayed in Ipanema. Yes, what they say about the Women are true. Literally every single shade from albino looking ginger to dark afro; bad in shape thick and with the cakes and tan lines. Everybody is in shape and constantly working out. If you don't speak Portuguese, yes It's gonna be really hard for you overall.
Pedro De Sal- Lit, block party street event until 5am in the morning. Good vibes, beautiful women and friendly people.
I recommend going to Casa Black Rio on Friday and Saturday-once again baddies and they cater to black people in that space.
Cocobana Beach (Rasta beach specifically)-lit and a good vibe
Definitely go to one of the live Samba shows or events they have
Everybody kissing each other outside like full on making out, alot of lgbtq and some trans which I was suprised at.
Shopping in Ipanema and around those stores particularly by the Havianna Flagship store, constant stares and sometimes looks of slight disgust as we were the darkest people in those stores and in those areas. Same in the big mall in Botafango, it's like they don't expect black people to be able to afford the equivalent to $50 USD items? Restaurants-lots of staring weird looks. A waiter did tell my fiancee and I we were beautiful so maybe it's on some awe or want to fukk shyt?
I bought a day pass at Smart Fitness gym and was the darkest person and once again constantly starred at. My stature and tattoo's aren't that different to the hundreds of people with more tattoos.
Did not like the food at all-the cheese bread thing, farfoja, the snack chip thing on the beach>almost the same level of ass as the women. The best things were the national dish and sushi, cevhice. Steak was good too but who can't cook steak.
I had a great time, but i'm not single like most people I know who went and didn't get to partake in the other debauchery so I wonder if that played apart in some shyt. But overall I would go again and learn the language.
