The Rio de Janeiro City Guide for GringosI'm a Gringo. Though I've been living in Rio de Janeiro since 2003 nothing has changed, I'm still a Gringo. On the good side, it's not all that bad to be one here. The Cariocas, as the locals call themselves, may even treat you better for being one. The word Gringo applies to any non-Brazilian and does not hold a negative connotation in Rio, or Brazil for that matter. It's an affectionate way to label a foreigner. Looking for an apartment to rent? Then check out my rental site. Just click the button on your top right to get there. Increasingly I've felt an urge to share my experiences and knowledge about Rio with other people. I have a perspective that is part local and part from a foreigner. I've been working with tourists since my arrival so I have a good grasp on what´s interesting for the visitor. In short: I know what you are looking for and that's why I started this site.
So here it is! My Rio de Janeiro City Guide. You will find tips on nightlife, concerts and live music. What about cheap flights, hiking or jiu-jitsu? You got it. I have tried to cover everything from shopping to surfing, from Tourist Police to Carnival, from capoeira to jazz. This city has so much to offer and until now it has been impossible to find all the information you want in one place.
I also depend on your feedback. What's missing? What's wrong? Did you come across something interesting in the city? Rio de Janeiro is such a thriving place that is always in a state of change. I need your comments to keep Gringo-Rio as sharp and as up to date as possible. If you have suggestions just go to the Contact Me page by clicking the button on the left.
