Planning a trip to Rio de Janeiro some time next year between February and August.
Any tips, recommendations, etc. would be helpful.
Cheers Slappers.

also, the whole area close to Maua Square (which is also close to Praça XV), lots of awesome benches and smooth ground.

there's some other DIY less known spots but couldn't find directions.

I might be going to Rio as well. I'm waiting for my homie from Brasil who lives here in Canada to book his ticket first. I'm going if he goes. He was born and raised and knows the spots and the locals. Definitely down to link up. Going first week of February if all goes as planned.
