Travel

AirBnb works great in Rio. If you prefer hotels, booking through booking.com works best and is usually cheaper than going through the hotel websites. Staying in Barra (pronounced "Ba-ha") you will be closer to the wedding venue. If you'd rather stay closer to the tourist attractions, we recommend staying in Leblon/Ipanema/Copacabana (not too far and great neighborhoods). Call us if you want a double check on your choice before booking!

Travel Note

VISAS

Americans/Canadians/Australians now need a visa to go to Brazil! Please don't forget to get yours in at least 2 months in advance. They cost $80 and require you to provide your flight details, length of stay, and passport information (tip: do not smile in the photo you provide, they are strict about following the requirements). Once approved, make sure to bring a printed hard copy with you on the flight.
