Rio de Janeiro

We have an evening flight leaving from Rio and are looking for some suggestions of things to do for a few hours before we need to leave for the airport. This is the Essence of South America tour.
Thank-you

  • We also had an evening flight out last year when we were on this trip. We were at the JW Marriott - not sure what hotel you are at, but you will probably be right across the street from the beach. You can walk for miles along the paved walk and there are lots of small food/drink places right on the beach to sit and people watch from. We found a local restaurant and had a leisurely lunch - try the Feijoada which is the typical Brazilian lunch served usually on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The concierge at the hotel or the local guide in Rio would be able to make some suggestions for you as well. Some of our group went to the Jewelry Factory and some went on a tour of a favela. Tauck arranged for a hotel room to be made available for anyone who wanted to shower before your flight, but there were a lot of us leaving at the same time so we ended up going up by the pool area and there were showers there in the locker room.
  • Thank-you for the suggestions.
