We are getting to Rio on Friday, 27 Nov. You are welcome to join us at any time - Rio is a FABULOUS city to explore!
Rio has two major airports: Galeão International Airport (GIG) and Rio de Janeiro-Santos Dumont Airport (SDU). GIG is the big international airport that is a ~45 minute Uber ride from Ipanema. SDU is the domestic airport that is ~25 min Uber ride to Ipanema. If you fly to SDU, you will have a layover, likely in São Paulo.
We are staying at the Praia Ipanema Hotel (PIH). But there are others within walking distance that we have listed on the website. PIH is offering discounts to our guests, and the code is this website. Two notes: the Sheraton is lovely and secluded, but unless you are up for a walk, you would need to take an Uber to get anywhere. The Fasano is even lovelier...but you will pay for that loveliness.
Uber. Period.
So much - we're working on that portion of this website. Keep checking it and we'll keep updating it.
If you don't, we would be upset! Please don't use social media to get hold of Zach - he's a curmudgeon.
It'll be the the beginning of summer in Rio, so it will be hot and humid. So be ready to hit the beach and have a Caipirinha! But absolutely no more than 1 beach Caipirinha. Any more and you will be done for the rest of the day. Just a suggestion.
