Wow! We received so many messages from you asking if we are ok. THANK YOU all for your love and concerns🙏. We are well and alive. Thanks again for all your support. We are so grateful to have you in our community❤️
We understand, that’s the problem with Rio that a lot of people don’t get. It’s drop dead gorgeous, but the authorities let it go a long tome ago. For them it’s just a big old cash cow, they will keep milking it until it keels over. I hope your experience in Rio does not change your mind about Brazil! I say go, to Espírito Santo and from there catch the train to Belo Horizonte an absolute must do. While in Minas go visit Ouro Preto. From Ouro Preto stop at chapada diamantina on your way to Bahia and the Northeast of Brazil! Be safe as always!
I'm a Brazilian visual artist and I feel more confortable using my old cameras on the streets of the big cities. I prefer to use something cheap. I have old film cameras, vintage, toy cameras and obsolete digital cameras. Inside buildings, gated places, on rooftops or in the countryside and small fisherman villages I use my expensive gear. Fancy iPhones are a prime target for criminals because they can sell them quickly but it's good to be careful. Thiefs here like to rob electronic equipment using motorcycles. Two guys on a motorcycle with a gun and wearing helmets. Drug addicts (using knives) and minors/pickpockets are interested in cameras and cellphones that they can easily sell for cheap prices to get some cash.
@@SallyLauderdale The difference is, you need to DIG hard to find dangerous places in NY, or Munchen for example.. in Rio you need to be constantly aware because there are too MANY dangerous areas. People from Rio think that is a normal level, but it is NOT, Rio proportionally has mroe dangerous areas than any other huge city (obviously keepign places at war out of it)
Some photographers and videomakers insure their equipment. So an insurace contract should be considered too. I've watched some videos warning about photo equipment being robbed at gun point in the USA. Cities like San Francisco are not safe anymore. Big cities in Brazil are worst than San Francisco or Paris. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Hey guys, I believe someone has already commented, but recently Mercadão de São Paulo has been investigated because of scammer sellers, some stores were fined and others closed. And probably your video helped with this case.

Oi, Guerreirinhos! Nice to see Dunga took you to Lagoa da Tijuca and a samba school! Makes me really happy that by now you guys have really gotten to understand Brazil's vibes! As far as natural beauty goes, there is no place like Rio in the world! Unfortunate that the UA-camr experience took a little out of the fun but I guess every job has its downsides. I'm confident you guys still had a great time! Saudades and see you in SP! 🙂
Did you see the news? Mostly because of you guys, the vendors in the Mercadão Municipal of São Paulo were closed down by regulatory agencies for scamming their costumers
Hey guys, i just found your video and, as a Rio citizen myself, i thank you guys for your honest analysis of our city. About the camera issue, sadly it is true you gotta be careful with your smartphones, wallet, and big cameras. But with good city guides, they will know where take you guys with security, and "read the ambience" and sense if it is any danger. But, violence is sadly a commom problem at big cities in Brazil, so i'd advise you guys to get a smaller camera, like Sony's Action Cam, or even bigger ones, but small enough it would fit in your pocket. If you do it, you can walk with no worry at all. 😀 I loved your content, and just subscribed 😄
Really happy to see you guys are back and well. Looking forward to seeing your next destinations. Safety concerns might be a lot milder in other places, where you can enjoy, rest and vlog. Just have in mind that going north the citie's infrastructure outside of capitals might be really simple, especially compared to developed countries. My recommendations still: Manaus / Amazon ; Jalapao / fervedouros and Lencois Maranhanhenses
Well - I am originally from Rio, although I’ve been living in the USA for 11 years. You must understand that due to its unique geography, Rio didn’t gentrify its tourist areas to the extent São Paulo did. This unique mix of all classes everywhere, which I find amazing. Rio offers loads of “free” activities - the beach being the centerpiece of an activity where money does not matter much. There is no ticket, no security guard controlling who has access to the beach. I love SP, don’t get me wrong, but I understand there is an illusion in the center area as poverty was exported to the city's outer rim. Then, if you only walk in the core center city - as you did in your videos - you get the impression you have first-world safety. Like NY - Manhattan - great - now try to go to Harlem with a big expensive camera! Or try to visit 95th south in Chicago with a display of wealth! Rio has a beautiful mix, but thanks to Brazil's inequalities and root history of corruption, that translates into more danger against a flashy display of wealth. And your camera, in Brazil, where the minimum salary is 250 dollars, is a striking display of wealth. So I enjoy your tips - Rio is not a place to show wealth. Rio is a place to enjoy a caipirinha, to wear flip-flops, and to listen to Samba. Tourists need to get that to enjoy Rio. otherwise they will hate what they have paid for.
Couldn't have put in better words! If you go to the outskirts of the city (my hubby's family lives in one of those) you understand how abandoned the poor population really is...and I'm not talking favelas only! I live in a medium sized city in São Paulo state. The contrast is huge. We both have similar wealth background (that is, lack of wealth, poor but no favela lvl), if you notice how my neighborhood is compared to the one where he grew up in Rio you can see the difference. He was the first to notice when he moved to my city to live with me. My neighborhood has decent maintained streets, with good urban lighting, services like hospitals, health clinics, police coverage, public transportation just some blocks from my house and etc. City services like maintaining the trees, cleaning of the streets and etc. Where he lives is just...abandoned. Barely any street is maintained, the traffic is a mess (from bad planning), some streets are full on ground, no pavement, that leads to mud when it rains, and in some areas, you can smell the sewage that is not properly directed. Everything is far away, good jobs and companies are more than 1 hour by train, same for colleges and etc. That talk saying the government only abandons favelas because of crime is sooooooo false. It's just an excuse, poor ppl in general are all abandoned in Rio.
@@jessiamedeiros4294 The reason is simple, Rio was not designed to be a big city, but when the immigration from the northeast arrived in the 60s, the population of the city grew super fast and it lead to crackdown on the government expenses. When the State of Guanabara (city of Rio) was fused with the State of Rio de Janeiro, it was not only am administrative measure, we lost money, the money that was supposed to keep only the city, now had to keep the whole State. We still had manage to exist until around 2014 the took Rio’s royalties money and divided to the rest of the country, this broke Rio’s economy, do you understand that? Since then Rio does not have money for anything, the State is trying to negotiate the debt with the Government, there is no money to invest in cutting trees, or building parks, it’s over, Rio can barely pay public workers salary. When you guys speak badly about Rio, remember your State took our royalties and now you want to bash our city.
Isso aí acabou. São Paulo tem registrado latrocínios e tiroteios a luz do dia. SP não é mais segura que o RJ nem brincando. Estou me referindo a capital e não a região interiorana.
Vcs deveriam assistir o canal OUR BRAZILIAN LIFE; um casal norte americano que viveu na Bahia com seus filhos mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro; já veio ao Espírito Santo; moram aqui há tempos; nunca reclamaram da falta de seguranças e vivem muito bem aqui; se o Rio fosse tão perigoso como dizem lá NÃO EXISTIRIA NINGUÉM MORANDO especialmente estrangeiros vcs não acham? é muita paranóia andar pelas ruas e ficar olhando prá tudo quanto é lado com medo; eu não tenho coragem de entrar num metrô em PARIS nem em MADRID!
Muitos fazem comparação de outras cidades com o Rio; existem cidades mais organizadas; acolhedoras até; mais bonita é impossível o RIO tem de tudo beleza natural; modernidade; bairros antigos; cachoeira e floresta dentro da cidade; favelas é COMPLETA!
@@paulorobertosouzalima6057 faz isso não, meu amigo. Não romantize o Rio de Janeiro. To te falando isso pq sou daqui do Rio. É uma cidade linda, cultural etc, mas VIOLENTA DEMAIS. A SENSAÇÃO de insegurança é muito grande, além de ser realmente perigosa. Ela é a síntese dos problemas do nosso Brasil. Dá pra viver, andar pela rua, mas há sempre uma preocupação com a violência. Isso é mt ruim

I'm a carioca, born and raised in Rio and I totally understand you guys! Unfortunatelly Rio has a BIG security problem. It's so sad that people can't walk in the streets with cameras or cell phones because of the violence. When I go to the beach I can't take photos because of this. It's a shame! Rio is so beautiful and don't deserve this. I trully hope that one day this wonderfull city turns in a safe city.
@@lr1179 Rapaz os últimos 5 governadores que vcs escolheram foram presos.

I've been to Rio many times since the late 1980s, have wonderful photos, from Ipanema, Copacabana not only the sea front but the back streets too, Laranjeiras, Centro, Botafogo, the Port area, Barra, Tijuca, always on foot, never had any issue for carrying my cell phone or my tiny Sony camera which gives me wonderful shots and movies, wherever I go. Of course I'm aware but not scared to the point of not enjoying my staying there, I would easily live in Rio for sure. American Big cities have their issues with safety but I don't see people stopping visiting them. As I said on another video, I've never been robbed or my house invaded by burglars in Brasil (São Paulo) but 3x in London where I live, in Madrid, a very safe city, a scary moment in Lisbon, the safest European capital and saw a kind of "arrastão", a group of girls targeting tourists in the Spanish Steps in Rome. So Rio, I love you no matter what they say.
@@jonpirovsky essa pixação devia ser estudada, é única no mundo. O que mais se vê é filmagens de turistas no Rio, só falta ele dizer que foram postadas pelos assaltantes que roubaram os equipamentos!😂😂😂
That's nice that you guys are being honest, as a brazilian I feel this fear of being robbed all the time when I'm with a smartphone at the street or any other expensive stuff, but we get used to it to the point we think it is a common thing. So Brazil would be 10000x better if the safety problem was solved.
@@romanceslivrosafins2133 -sir, this is a Wendy's- dude, chill, this is a UA-cam comments sections. We are here to comment about the video, not to protest lol
Yeah, it sucks, here in Curitiba been robbed, assaulted many times on the streets, got a home invasion and that is our shitty existence. I don't accept it. Moving to Europe.
Uma justa análise! Você viu que seu vídeo no mercado municipal de São Paulo, mobilizou a polícia, para inibir a palhaçada que cobraram de vocês pelas frutas? Quase todos caem nisso, é só se informar com alguns comerciantes dali gente.
As someone who is from Rio, I see that most tourist tend to stay in the south zone of the city, which is actually nice too, but please, go to beaches in zone oeste as well! To me, they're even prettier, and usually less crowded. There's praia da barra, prainha, praia da macumba, praia da reserva, praia do recreio
Você está certo, os brasileiros têm a tendência de acreditar que outros países são sempre melhores que o Brasil, especialmente na Europa, mas nem imaginam que você precisa tomar muito cuidado para não ser assaltado nas proximidades de pontos turísticos em cidades como Paris.
Vc já viu a quantidade de sem tetos no metrô de Paris, muitos que estão são honestos passando por necessidades , mas outros são ladrões. Cada uma com as sua experiências.
Você provavelmente não foi em Paris, escutou algum tiroteio em Paris? Viu algum preocupado com câmeras ou celulares em Paris?. Paris mesmo sendo uma das capitais menos seguras da Europa, é mais segura que a capital mais segura do Brasil. Rio de Janeiro é um inferno, não dá pra achar normal o que acontece no Rio.
Nice.... Amazing.... Stunning.... The number 1 reason to be in Rio De Janeiro.... So many tourist, in another world..... Take care , stay safe on there...
>we were on the edge all the time, looking over our shoulders, which brings the fun factor down That's what being Brazilian feels like, you guys are having the full experience lol
Guys…. Thank you for your amazing videos! One very late TIP, I highly recommend that one should visit the Sugar Loaf about one hour before SUNSETas to see Rio by Day and by Night on the same time…seeing Rio at sunset on the top of the sugar loaf and then see I also the city lights it’s been one of the most magnificent thing I ever seen, the city looks like scattered with shining diamonds,,, incredible lay beautifull…
You can enjoy easily the vibe in Rio without worries, but walking with a big fancy camera on the streets will certainly increase the probability of some "bad apple" do something. It's like a spot light on you. Of course it's also a question of luck, but it's better do not take the risk.
Ficaram uma semana sumidos, fiquei preocupada porque estavam no Rio , ao mesmo tempo aconteceu o desastre em Petrópolis e então fiquei ansiosa por noticias. Espero que vá a Angra dos Reis , Búzios e depois vão para Bahia, Maceio - Maragogi e praia do Gunga , para Fernando de NOronha, Fortaleza.. tem muito lugar lindo no Brasil
Nice to hear of you again; on the one hand I was delighted @Rio4Fun guided you deep into Rocinha for a deep dive in Brazil's culture; on the other, I've never been to Rio, but I've heard enough to be worried as you didn't post for a while. I'm glad you're okay. I hope, despite the difficulty, it was an enlightening experience for you. Looking forward, I recommend you visit the historic cities and calm countryside here in Minas Gerais, the contrasting sceneries of the Northeast, and Brasília, the planned capital... or as much of it as you can fit in a video. The Amazon is a mysterious beauty too. All of that is, of course, if you plan to extend your stay. There's lots to discover in a continent-sized country such as Brazil, as no one vlogger has ever done more than just a general outline of it; and we understand there are limitations on how much you can explore. Anyway, I hope you can explore much more, actually enjoy your time ever more, and then bring Brazilian warmth with you onto your next destination. Kudos for your amazing reviews.
The reason for this "split opinions" about safety is because here we've normalized the possibility of being robbed or something like this. It's sad saying this, but that's the truth. A lot of us (including me) are just so used to this danger, that looks like that's no danger at all.
Brazilians have this contradiction when talking about violence for a few reasons. 1- We are so used to dealing with these situations that we lose track of what is dangerous. 2- This custom also creates in people, from a young age, the habit of walking on the street alert and without valuables. In this case, in fact, many people are not robbed or subjected to violence in their lifetime,, because they unconsciously behave in a way that is not attractive to thieves. 3- Also the places that this person goes, and the frequency with which he exposes himself to risk. Not to mention the luck factor. These factors distort our perception of what is and is not dangerous. So, when you hear a Brazilian saying that Rio is not violent, keep that in mind. That person may not have the parameters to tell you what is safe and what is not, from a Canadian's perspective. Also don't be shy about complaining about Rio's security problemas. There is no carioca who doesn't complain about it. A gringo complaining about this, will only be frowned upon if it is clear that there is contempt for the country and the people. This is not the case for you guys, we know. You can complain about it, like every good carioca. It is also important to point out that not all places in Brazil have this level of violence. There are quite safe places. But Rio is certainly not one of them.
Não quero nem imaginar a invasão que o Rio teria se fosse uma ilha de tranquilidade... Seria uma cidade já com mais de 100 milhões de habitantes. O dia que a marginalia for extirpada o Rio vai se tornar a gigantesca cidade do mundo, como nunca se imaginou ser possível.
O que tornou o Rio tão violento foi justamente o grande números de pessoas que migram pra cá. Quem tiver uma cidade segura e boa, que faça segredo dela, pois a chegada de grande número de gente acaba trazendo muita gente ruim tbm.
Não existe capitais super populosas que são seguras, o Rio é como NY, Tokyo, Paris, vc pode sim ir pra lá e não ter nenhum problema indo nas partes turisticas mas em muitos pontos da cidade é extremamente perigo
@@xLuizFillipex nesse ponto vc está errado. O Rio claramente é muito mais perigoso do que metrópoles e megalópoles de países desenvolvidos. Não tem nem comparação com Tókio, por exemplo.
Mas na verdade, a população da cidade ser grande na vdd não seria bom. Esse é um dos motivos do aumento das favelas. Muitas pessoas vinham de outras cidades pro eixo Rio - são Paulo, sem dinheiro, sem ter aonde morar, então iam pros morros e areas ainda não muito habitadas e construíram de forma irregular, aí foi aumentando
Então! Além de tudo tem gente nos comentários mandando eles irem embora, que estão cansados de gringos assim. Oi? Essa galera não tem o mínimo de educação e de noção!
One of the biggest problems imo, is that the taxes for electronics in Brazil is absurdly high. For any tech items. We have the most expensive iphone in the world, but our salaries are much much lower compared to many contries'. So in places where the duality (and sometimes, unfairness) of life becomes clearly visible, there are some desperate people that see electronics (especially the ones brought in by tourists, as our import taxes makes them especially valuable in our market) as a "easy cash oportunity", as they will be probably able to sell them really very quickly if they tag them below the average price. Not trying to justify anything, just trying to explain why it is such a common concern and quickly noticed by brazilians.
the people who live in Rio destroy the real Rio's reputation...I've been in Rio so many times nothing happened to me as well as so many American friends...we think the Cariocas are scared of something bad happen to you ...they over react..is not that bad just don't think about that (law of attraction haha)....and enjoy the city...I am loving all your videos..you guys are awesome
Perfeita sua análise. Disse exatamente o que eu gostaria de dizer. A cidade tem problemas mas não é a mais violenta do país, a diferença é que o Rio é massacrado pela mídia e por um bando de invejosos que nunca vieram aqui e criticam a cidade. Aqui tem ladrões que vêm de outros estados e até países. Dependendo do local eu não usaria câmeras sofisticadas ou telefones como iPhone, Galaxy etc, mas adaptando-se ao local e com informação, é perfeitamente possível passear e desfrutar da cidade mais bonita do planeta e conhecer um povo muito bacana. São Paulo tem muitos assaltos, tiroteio dentro do aeroporto, em shoppings, etc e ninguém massacra. Tudo isso é bem triste. O mal são os políticos, como sempre.
Talkin about futebol, Palmeiras will play the finals for Supercopa Sul-americana and the great match will be on March 2th at Allianz Parque, 21:30 local time. Its a 6 hours bus trip from Rio to SP, it would be nice to see you two cheering with us!
O problema do Rio de Janeiro inteiro é a corrupção acha que é uma herança antiga de Portugal,tirando isso o estado do Rio de Janeiro é lindo,sejam sempre benvindos ao nosso Brasil.
IMHO you should have started your travel in Rio and then spread across the rest of Brazil. I would bet that the most of said ˜being on the edge˜ feeling would simply go away, Every single place you visited before Rio probably said that Rio is dangerous and slowly but surely your fear was being built. That is just the general opinion about Rio, but the numbers and statistics says otherwise. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed your stay!
Rio is a place where you havee to have a feeling for where youu can do some stuff and where you cant do them, its safe if you know how to behave but dangerous if you know nothing.
That's what I said some weeks ago guys. Rio is indeed beautiful, BUT, it is dangerous. That's why you guys are doing an extraordinary work, bcause you're showing that Brazil is not only Rio. Unfortunately lots of people when come to Brazil, go straightly to Rio. That's why the country get this picture of a dangerous country, that you have to take care at each step... and it's just not like that.. As you've just seen, 99% of Brazil is not a dangerous country, from São Paulo to Florianopolis, and even the North and Northwest... I hope lots of people in the world watch your videos. We love you guys! Have fun and enjoy Rio ❤❤❤❤❤
Adding some fun(or not so fun) facts: - A reasonable number of Rio residents never went to Christ or Sugarloaf Mountain (myself included) - Despite the risk of being robbed walking around with a BIG camera, be sure that material damage is the only real danger, it VERY rare to this robbery on tourists to have true physical damage. Most of the time they get the camera or phone and run very fast, because tourist robbery when the tourist get hurt get a lot of attention of the police and most often than the offender end up killed by the police instead of arrested and if they dont harm the tourist many times they can end up with light fines. - You can safely walk with your camera around tourist attractions like the sugarloaf mountain or Christ, its expected as tourists and the security on this places are much more watchful of criminals. Another day you visited Madureira and passed by less than a mile of my home! If you managed to visit the suburbs of Rio again, please tell me so we have a "chopp" together and I very much recommend you to visit "Engenhão" on a weekend were there isnt a game being played. When no team is playing, the place become a very cool family friendly park with food trucks, cheap food and beer, and is reasonable safe. I would dare to say that during the day you can even walk with your camera around relatively safe as long as some local (like me :D) is with you. If you wanna see how a carioca from suburbs have some CHEAP fun and enjoy a cold beer with friends on a weekend, thats an amazing place to look :)
About "don't walk on the streets with your expensive camera"... I understand the reason. Just search for the price of cameras here. They are SUPER expensive. But I have to say, because I myself also gave this warning to a foreigner that stayed a few days here I feel guilty. The risk is always there, for sure, but I don't think it is so bad as we make it seems.
não se sinta culpado, vc provavelmente salvou a vida do cara. pesquisa no google, rio turista assalto/morto. a possibilidade de sofrer violencia no rj é altissima.
@@deathdoor Não é exagero quando alvo da violência é vc. Ninguém quer fazer parte da estatística, então é melhor prevenir do que remediar. Entre ir e não ir pro RJ, prefiro não ir, se tiver que ir, entre sair mostrando a câmera na rua e não levar a camera, melhor não levar, e por aí vai...
Não sei, gente, mas algo me diz que deve ter acontecido algo que eles não quiseram comentar neste vídeo….. Advertidos sobre não andar com câmera grande eles o haviam sido em outras cidades…. Então isso não era novidade e critério para gostar/desgostar de algum lugar. Ademais, essa sumida que deram está muito mal explicada.
You guys were right to be aware all the time, we also do that and we live here. Even if you're brazilian, but you from anther state, they always tell u to be carefull there. Unfortunately it's not safe at all, Rio is probably the most dangerous state in Brazil. For everyone that wants to visit rio, I wouldnt recomend to come to be exploring by itself, come with a programmed rout of everything you want to do and visit. You guys were also lucky cuz you have friends in there and that makes a lot of difference.
Funny you titled the analysis "heaven and hell" , a famous Brazilian music states Rio is the "Wonder city Purgatory of Beauty and Chaos", Rio 40 Graus is the name, and there's no better way to put it

Hey guys, i just found your video and, as a Rio citizen myself, i thank you guys for your honest analysis of our city. About the camera issue, sadly it is true you gotta be careful with your smartphones, wallet, and big cameras. But with good city guides, they will know where take you guys with security, and "read the ambience" and sense if it is any danger. But, violence is sadly a commom problem at big cities in Brazil, so i'd advise you guys to get a smaller camera, like Sony's Action Cam, or even bigger ones, but small enough it would fit in your pocket. If you do it, you can walk with no worry at all. 😀

Wait, calm. Rio is dangerous, but not like some people say. I’m carioca and i know what i say
Really happy to see you guys are back and well. Looking forward to seeing your next destinations. Safety concerns might be a lot milder in other places, where you can enjoy, rest and vlog. Just have in mind that going north the citie's infrastructure outside of capitals might be really simple, especially compared to developed countries. My recommendations still: Manaus / Amazon ; Jalapao / fervedouros and Lencois Maranhanhenses
Well - I am originally from Rio, although I’ve been living in the USA for 11 years. You must understand that due to its unique geography, Rio didn’t gentrify its tourist areas to the extent São Paulo did. This unique mix of all classes everywhere, which I find amazing. Rio offers loads of “free” activities - the beach being the centerpiece of an activity where money does not matter much. There is no ticket, no security guard controlling who has access to the beach. I love SP, don’t get me wrong, but I understand there is an illusion in the center area as poverty was exported to the city's outer rim. Then, if you only walk in the core center city - as you did in your videos - you get the impression you have first-world safety. Like NY - Manhattan - great - now try to go to Harlem with a big expensive camera! Or try to visit 95th south in Chicago with a display of wealth! Rio has a beautiful mix, but thanks to Brazil's inequalities and root history of corruption, that translates into more danger against a flashy display of wealth. And your camera, in Brazil, where the minimum salary is 250 dollars, is a striking display of wealth. So I enjoy your tips - Rio is not a place to show wealth. Rio is a place to enjoy a caipirinha, to wear flip-flops, and to listen to Samba. Tourists need to get that to enjoy Rio. otherwise they will hate what they have paid for.
Thanks for the insight!
Couldn't have put in better words! If you go to the outskirts of the city (my hubby's family lives in one of those) you understand how abandoned the poor population really is...and I'm not talking favelas only! I live in a medium sized city in São Paulo state. The contrast is huge. We both have similar wealth background (that is, lack of wealth, poor but no favela lvl), if you notice how my neighborhood is compared to the one where he grew up in Rio you can see the difference. He was the first to notice when he moved to my city to live with me. My neighborhood has decent maintained streets, with good urban lighting, services like hospitals, health clinics, police coverage, public transportation just some blocks from my house and etc. City services like maintaining the trees, cleaning of the streets and etc. Where he lives is just...abandoned. Barely any street is maintained, the traffic is a mess (from bad planning), some streets are full on ground, no pavement, that leads to mud when it rains, and in some areas, you can smell the sewage that is not properly directed. Everything is far away, good jobs and companies are more than 1 hour by train, same for colleges and etc. That talk saying the government only abandons favelas because of crime is sooooooo false. It's just an excuse, poor ppl in general are all abandoned in Rio.
Spot on!
@@jessiamedeiros4294 The reason is simple, Rio was not designed to be a big city, but when the immigration from the northeast arrived in the 60s, the population of the city grew super fast and it lead to crackdown on the government expenses. When the State of Guanabara (city of Rio) was fused with the State of Rio de Janeiro, it was not only am administrative measure, we lost money, the money that was supposed to keep only the city, now had to keep the whole State. We still had manage to exist until around 2014 the took Rio’s royalties money and divided to the rest of the country, this broke Rio’s economy, do you understand that? Since then Rio does not have money for anything, the State is trying to negotiate the debt with the Government, there is no money to invest in cutting trees, or building parks, it’s over, Rio can barely pay public workers salary. When you guys speak badly about Rio, remember your State took our royalties and now you want to bash our city.
Isso aí acabou. São Paulo tem registrado latrocínios e tiroteios a luz do dia. SP não é mais segura que o RJ nem brincando. Estou me referindo a capital e não a região interiorana.
I'm glad you guys are back, I feared you had gone to Petrópolis.
Vcs deveriam assistir o canal OUR BRAZILIAN LIFE; um casal norte americano que viveu na Bahia com seus filhos mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro; já veio ao Espírito Santo; moram aqui há tempos; nunca reclamaram da falta de seguranças e vivem muito bem aqui; se o Rio fosse tão perigoso como dizem lá NÃO EXISTIRIA NINGUÉM MORANDO especialmente estrangeiros vcs não acham? é muita paranóia andar pelas ruas e ficar olhando prá tudo quanto é lado com medo; eu não tenho coragem de entrar num metrô em PARIS nem em MADRID!
Muitos fazem comparação de outras cidades com o Rio; existem cidades mais organizadas; acolhedoras até; mais bonita é impossível o RIO tem de tudo beleza natural; modernidade; bairros antigos; cachoeira e floresta dentro da cidade; favelas é COMPLETA!
@@paulorobertosouzalima6057 faz isso não, meu amigo. Não romantize o Rio de Janeiro. To te falando isso pq sou daqui do Rio. É uma cidade linda, cultural etc, mas VIOLENTA DEMAIS. A SENSAÇÃO de insegurança é muito grande, além de ser realmente perigosa. Ela é a síntese dos problemas do nosso Brasil.
Dá pra viver, andar pela rua, mas há sempre uma preocupação com a violência. Isso é mt ruim

This looks amazing, thank you for your honesty and positivity, have fun in Rio ❤️
Reading the news about Petrópolis i felt really worried about u guys! Glad you showed up and are okay s2
I'm a carioca, born and raised in Rio and I totally understand you guys! Unfortunatelly Rio has a BIG security problem. It's so sad that people can't walk in the streets with cameras or cell phones because of the violence. When I go to the beach I can't take photos because of this. It's a shame! Rio is so beautiful and don't deserve this. I trully hope that one day this wonderfull city turns in a safe city.
Temos eleições esse ano, rio de janeiro ja virou pauta nacional, veremos qual candidato olha para o Rio
@@lr1179 Rapaz os últimos 5 governadores que vcs escolheram foram presos. Eu só não rio de vcs pq vcs ao menos prendem esses caras ( ou prendiam), aqui em PE os bandidos continuam na política e nada acontece. Mas deve estar na mesma agr ne? Eu ouvi que Cabral vai ser solto. Pra presidente lembre que os 2 candidatos que estão na frente não apoiam o combate a corrupção. Sérgio Moro é a melhor opção de longe. Se fizerem a escolha errada, Depois não reclamem...
I've been to Rio many times since the late 1980s, have wonderful photos, from Ipanema, Copacabana not only the sea front but the back streets too, Laranjeiras, Centro, Botafogo, the Port area, Barra, Tijuca, always on foot, never had any issue for carrying my cell phone or my tiny Sony camera which gives me wonderful shots and movies, wherever I go. Of course I'm aware but not scared to the point of not enjoying my staying there, I would easily live in Rio for sure. American Big cities have their issues with safety but I don't see people stopping visiting them. As I said on another video, I've never been robbed or my house invaded by burglars in Brasil (São Paulo) but 3x in London where I live, in Madrid, a very safe city, a scary moment in Lisbon, the safest European capital and saw a kind of "arrastão", a group of girls targeting tourists in the Spanish Steps in Rome. So Rio, I love you no matter what they say.
Carioca adora cagar na própria cidade, incrível... Eu tiro fotos e faço vídeos a todo momento no RJ, raramente tive algum problema com isso.
@@jonpirovsky essa pixação devia ser estudada, é única no mundo. O que mais se vê é filmagens de turistas no Rio, só falta ele dizer que foram postadas pelos assaltantes que roubaram os equipamentos!😂😂😂
That's nice that you guys are being honest, as a brazilian I feel this fear of being robbed all the time when I'm with a smartphone at the street or any other expensive stuff, but we get used to it to the point we think it is a common thing. So Brazil would be 10000x better if the safety problem was solved.
Que bom seria se o brasileiros começassem a fazer a diferença cobrando dos políticos e não reclamando do país pra gringo que tá c****** pra gente.
@@romanceslivrosafins2133 -sir, this is a Wendy's- dude, chill, this is a UA-cam comments sections. We are here to comment about the video, not to protest lol
Em São Paulo eu não tenho esse medo
Yeah, it sucks, here in Curitiba been robbed, assaulted many times on the streets, got a home invasion and that is our shitty existence. I don't accept it. Moving to Europe.
Essas imagens do RJ são de tirar o fôlego! Obrigado por divulgar as belezas do nosso país! Amei o vídeo!
Uma justa análise! Você viu que seu vídeo no mercado municipal de São Paulo, mobilizou a polícia, para inibir a palhaçada que cobraram de vocês pelas frutas? Quase todos caem nisso, é só se informar com alguns comerciantes dali gente.
Sério isso do Mercado Municipal (da Polícia ter ido atrás disso)?? Tem algum vídeo ou reportagem sobre a polícia acabando com a palhaçada?
@@rogeriopenna9014 Creio que não foi por causa dos vídeos deles, mas estão atrás dos caras sim.
@@felipemachado8812 foi sim, eu vi na tv
I live in Rio all my live and u can safely film on touristic areas. People love spreading more fear than the reality.
The camera you're using looks great by the way!!! Love Rio!!!
As someone who is from Rio, I see that most tourist tend to stay in the south zone of the city, which is actually nice too, but please, go to beaches in zone oeste as well! To me, they're even prettier, and usually less crowded. There's praia da barra, prainha, praia da macumba, praia da reserva, praia do recreio
Apesar de todos os problemas o Rio continua lindo 🇧🇷
Como em todo grande centro urbano do Brasil e do mundo , tem que ficar atento a tudo e a todos .
Estive em Paris e não foi diferente.
@Rodrigo Marques a síndrome de vira lata... o que tem de bate carteira em paris não tá escrito
Você está certo, os brasileiros têm a tendência de acreditar que outros países são sempre melhores que o Brasil, especialmente na Europa, mas nem imaginam que você precisa tomar muito cuidado para não ser assaltado nas proximidades de pontos turísticos em cidades como Paris.
Vc já viu a quantidade de sem tetos no metrô de Paris, muitos que estão são honestos passando por necessidades , mas outros são ladrões. Cada uma com as sua experiências.
Você provavelmente não foi em Paris, escutou algum tiroteio em Paris? Viu algum preocupado com câmeras ou celulares em Paris?. Paris mesmo sendo uma das capitais menos seguras da Europa, é mais segura que a capital mais segura do Brasil. Rio de Janeiro é um inferno, não dá pra achar normal o que acontece no Rio.
@Rodrigo Marques discordo. Moro fora do país num país considerado do primeiro mundo e também não me atreveria tirar meu celular em qualquer lugar.
What a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice.... Amazing.... Stunning.... The number 1 reason to be in Rio De Janeiro.... So many tourist, in another world..... Take care , stay safe on there...
>we were on the edge all the time, looking over our shoulders, which brings the fun factor down
That's what being Brazilian feels like, you guys are having the full experience lol
Isso depende muito do lugar, tem vários lugares no Brasil bem seguros
Guys…. Thank you for your amazing videos! One very late TIP, I highly recommend that one should visit the Sugar Loaf about one hour before SUNSETas to see Rio by Day and by Night on the same time…seeing Rio at sunset on the top of the sugar loaf and then see I also the city lights it’s been one of the most magnificent thing I ever seen, the city looks like scattered with shining diamonds,,, incredible lay beautifull…
You guys disappeared... so glad you're back!
You can enjoy easily the vibe in Rio without worries, but walking with a big fancy camera on the streets will certainly increase the probability of some "bad apple" do something. It's like a spot light on you. Of course it's also a question of luck, but it's better do not take the risk.
Try going to Prainha, never seen a travel channel showing the best beach in Rio! or maybe Joatinga
Thank you for your honest opinions. Now I need to go to Rio. Good Job.
Cidade maravilhosa
Cheia de encantos mil
Cidade maravilhosa
Coração do meu Brasil... 😎❤💫 Vem pro Norte e Nordeste agora, poxa 🥲💞
Ficaram uma semana sumidos, fiquei preocupada porque estavam no Rio , ao mesmo tempo aconteceu o desastre em Petrópolis e então fiquei ansiosa por noticias. Espero que vá a Angra dos Reis , Búzios e depois vão para Bahia, Maceio - Maragogi e praia do Gunga , para Fernando de NOronha, Fortaleza.. tem muito lugar lindo no Brasil
Curti esse comentário galera,só lugares que valem a pena.
Man, there certain spots where its not recomended to walk with a big camera. But in the boat tour you showed it was extremely Fine, no problem at all.
I’d say everywhere is dangerous in Rio. I was robbed in broad day light at 2 pm in Ipanema last month.
Nice to hear of you again; on the one hand I was delighted @Rio4Fun guided you deep into Rocinha for a deep dive in Brazil's culture; on the other, I've never been to Rio, but I've heard enough to be worried as you didn't post for a while. I'm glad you're okay. I hope, despite the difficulty, it was an enlightening experience for you. Looking forward, I recommend you visit the historic cities and calm countryside here in Minas Gerais, the contrasting sceneries of the Northeast, and Brasília, the planned capital... or as much of it as you can fit in a video. The Amazon is a mysterious beauty too. All of that is, of course, if you plan to extend your stay. There's lots to discover in a continent-sized country such as Brazil, as no one vlogger has ever done more than just a general outline of it; and we understand there are limitations on how much you can explore. Anyway, I hope you can explore much more, actually enjoy your time ever more, and then bring Brazilian warmth with you onto your next destination.
Kudos for your amazing reviews.
The reason for this "split opinions" about safety is because here we've normalized the possibility of being robbed or something like this. It's sad saying this, but that's the truth. A lot of us (including me) are just so used to this danger, that looks like that's no danger at all.
No, it’s because there are people from other states bashing Rio because their states aren’t the first choice from tourists.
Thanks for this video! Have fun;)
6:03 we warn tourists bc brazilians always think that the worst of the worse could happen, but its really not dangerous the main part of rio, at all
good to know that a romanian guy Gheorghe Leonida did the head of the statue as a member of Paul Landowsky s team. All the best from Iasi.
Great comment!! Big shoutout to Iasi! Love that place :) Will be back in Romania in the summer/fall, we think :)
Looking forward to watching it later. Hehehe, u guys looked funny. Stay safe n healthy.
Glad to see you again guys! Ivana is tanned! Beautiful 😍
I love Rio 🥰❤
Guys , did you go to jardim botânico? Its amazing , was Portuguese king s garden . Plants around the world
The best beaches in Rio are on the Costa Verde and Lagos region.. you should go see it if you are still in Rio
Didn't see you both for the past 6/7 days. Hope everything is okay. Stay safe and do take care Steve lvana
Brazilians have this contradiction when talking about violence for a few reasons.
1- We are so used to dealing with these situations that we lose track of what is dangerous.
2- This custom also creates in people, from a young age, the habit of walking on the street alert and without valuables. In this case, in fact, many people are not robbed or subjected to violence in their lifetime,, because they unconsciously behave in a way that is not attractive to thieves.
3- Also the places that this person goes, and the frequency with which he exposes himself to risk. Not to mention the luck factor.
These factors distort our perception of what is and is not dangerous.
So, when you hear a Brazilian saying that Rio is not violent, keep that in mind. That person may not have the parameters to tell you what is safe and what is not, from a Canadian's perspective.
Also don't be shy about complaining about Rio's security problemas. There is no carioca who doesn't complain about it. A gringo complaining about this, will only be frowned upon if it is clear that there is contempt for the country and the people.
This is not the case for you guys, we know. You can complain about it, like every good carioca.
It is also important to point out that not all places in Brazil have this level of violence. There are quite safe places. But Rio is certainly not one of them.
It depends a lot on the place, there are very safe places
Uma pena o que aconteceu em Petrópolis. A chuva destruiu a cidade, nem mesmo o palácio imperial foi salvo.
Que bom que eles não estavam lá! Um monte de gente estava indicando pra eles irem.
Sério mesmo que destruiu o palácio imperial. Desgraça!
logo nos 200 anos da independência... espero que vejam o simbolismo da data e reconstruam tudo
Acho q nao gente....
O Palácio Imperial n deve ter sido destruído
Beautiful views. Keep safe, healthy and happy.
You should try climbing the Sugar Loaf or Pedra da Gávea... That's something few tourists get to do!!!
Loving the videos in Brazil
If I could make an analogy, Rio is the heart and São Paulo is the brain of Brazil.
So sad about Petrópolis, might not be able to visit it now with all that happened. I feel for the poor families suffering right now 😔
O Rio de Janeiro continua lindo ... VASCO!
Hope you're ok!
you're back...
Vcs precisam ir em arraial do cabo, lá é lindo, mas tem que ter sol!
Não quero nem imaginar a invasão que o Rio teria se fosse uma ilha de tranquilidade... Seria uma cidade já com mais de 100 milhões de habitantes. O dia que a marginalia for extirpada o Rio vai se tornar a gigantesca cidade do mundo, como nunca se imaginou ser possível.
O que tornou o Rio tão violento foi justamente o grande números de pessoas que migram pra cá. Quem tiver uma cidade segura e boa, que faça segredo dela, pois a chegada de grande número de gente acaba trazendo muita gente ruim tbm.
@@myb.5505 Pois é, mas o povo acha que a criminalidade aqui surgiu por mágica, aff 🙄
Não existe capitais super populosas que são seguras, o Rio é como NY, Tokyo, Paris, vc pode sim ir pra lá e não ter nenhum problema indo nas partes turisticas mas em muitos pontos da cidade é extremamente perigo
@@xLuizFillipex nesse ponto vc está errado. O Rio claramente é muito mais perigoso do que metrópoles e megalópoles de países desenvolvidos. Não tem nem comparação com Tókio, por exemplo.
Mas na verdade, a população da cidade ser grande na vdd não seria bom. Esse é um dos motivos do aumento das favelas. Muitas pessoas vinham de outras cidades pro eixo Rio - são Paulo, sem dinheiro, sem ter aonde morar, então iam pros morros e areas ainda não muito habitadas e construíram de forma irregular, aí foi aumentando
Go to Paraty, Ilha Grande and Buzios. In this places is safe to use the camera
Graças a Deus vocês não estavam em Petrópolis quando aconteceu a tragédia lá
Best vídeo in UA-cam!!!
Esperem pelo vídeo galera. Ninguém ainda assistiu e vocês já estão tirando sua conclusões? Esperem.
Então! Além de tudo tem gente nos comentários mandando eles irem embora, que estão cansados de gringos assim. Oi? Essa galera não tem o mínimo de educação e de noção!
One of the biggest problems imo, is that the taxes for electronics in Brazil is absurdly high. For any tech items. We have the most expensive iphone in the world, but our salaries are much much lower compared to many contries'. So in places where the duality (and sometimes, unfairness) of life becomes clearly visible, there are some desperate people that see electronics (especially the ones brought in by tourists, as our import taxes makes them especially valuable in our market) as a "easy cash oportunity", as they will be probably able to sell them really very quickly if they tag them below the average price. Not trying to justify anything, just trying to explain why it is such a common concern and quickly noticed by brazilians.
you really shouldn't walk around with your camera lol. love the channel!
the people who live in Rio destroy the real Rio's reputation...I've been in Rio so many times nothing happened to me as well as so many American friends...we think the Cariocas are scared of something bad happen to you ...they over react..is not that bad just don't think about that (law of attraction haha)....and enjoy the city...I am loving all your videos..you guys are awesome
Perfeita sua análise. Disse exatamente o que eu gostaria de dizer. A cidade tem problemas mas não é a mais violenta do país, a diferença é que o Rio é massacrado pela mídia e por um bando de invejosos que nunca vieram aqui e criticam a cidade. Aqui tem ladrões que vêm de outros estados e até países. Dependendo do local eu não usaria câmeras sofisticadas ou telefones como iPhone, Galaxy etc, mas adaptando-se ao local e com informação, é perfeitamente possível passear e desfrutar da cidade mais bonita do planeta e conhecer um povo muito bacana. São Paulo tem muitos assaltos, tiroteio dentro do aeroporto, em shoppings, etc e ninguém massacra. Tudo isso é bem triste. O mal são os políticos, como sempre.
Maybe those who say it's safe are those who steal the cameras :))jk
Talkin about futebol, Palmeiras will play the finals for Supercopa Sul-americana and the great match will be on March 2th at Allianz Parque, 21:30 local time. Its a 6 hours bus trip from Rio to SP, it would be nice to see you two cheering with us!
O problema do Rio de Janeiro inteiro é a corrupção acha que é uma herança antiga de Portugal,tirando isso o estado do Rio de Janeiro é lindo,sejam sempre benvindos ao nosso Brasil.
Lula, Sarney, Collor, Maluf e Temer aplaudiram isso.
IMHO you should have started your travel in Rio and then spread across the rest of Brazil. I would bet that the most of said ˜being on the edge˜ feeling would simply go away, Every single place you visited before Rio probably said that Rio is dangerous and slowly but surely your fear was being built. That is just the general opinion about Rio, but the numbers and statistics says otherwise. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed your stay!
Rio is a place where you havee to have a feeling for where youu can do some stuff and where you cant do them, its safe if you know how to behave but dangerous if you know nothing.
That's what I said some weeks ago guys. Rio is indeed beautiful, BUT, it is dangerous. That's why you guys are doing an extraordinary work, bcause you're showing that Brazil is not only Rio. Unfortunately lots of people when come to Brazil, go straightly to Rio. That's why the country get this picture of a dangerous country, that you have to take care at each step... and it's just not like that..
As you've just seen, 99% of Brazil is not a dangerous country, from São Paulo to Florianopolis, and even the North and Northwest...
I hope lots of people in the world watch your videos.
We love you guys! Have fun and enjoy Rio ❤❤❤❤❤
Adding some fun(or not so fun) facts:
- A reasonable number of Rio residents never went to Christ or Sugarloaf Mountain (myself included)
- Despite the risk of being robbed walking around with a BIG camera, be sure that material damage is the only real danger, it VERY rare to this robbery on tourists to have true physical damage. Most of the time they get the camera or phone and run very fast, because tourist robbery when the tourist get hurt get a lot of attention of the police and most often than the offender end up killed by the police instead of arrested and if they dont harm the tourist many times they can end up with light fines.
- You can safely walk with your camera around tourist attractions like the sugarloaf mountain or Christ, its expected as tourists and the security on this places are much more watchful of criminals.
Another day you visited Madureira and passed by less than a mile of my home! If you managed to visit the suburbs of Rio again, please tell me so we have a "chopp" together and I very much recommend you to visit "Engenhão" on a weekend were there isnt a game being played. When no team is playing, the place become a very cool family friendly park with food trucks, cheap food and beer, and is reasonable safe. I would dare to say that during the day you can even walk with your camera around relatively safe as long as some local (like me :D) is with you. If you wanna see how a carioca from suburbs have some CHEAP fun and enjoy a cold beer with friends on a weekend, thats an amazing place to look :)
Don't walk with valuables in the Rio, walk as simply as possible.
You should go to Pedra da Gavea. Also, the best view of Rio is said to be from Vista Chinesa, though I’ve never been there myself.
Parabéns !!! excelente vídeo .
Hope u guys are doin ok, we missed you two so much!
Can't wait for this! Please be careful in Rio!
what type of camera are we talking about? A regular DSLR or a high level video camera?
Belo vídeo
Hi guys welcome to brazil
The last two live transmissions were announced to start at 15:00h, but started at 12:00h, if I am not mistaken.
Era as 12:00 mesmo
The store that carried out the coup on you in the municipal market was closed due to the reports of the coup they were applying.
About "don't walk on the streets with your expensive camera"... I understand the reason. Just search for the price of cameras here. They are SUPER expensive. But I have to say, because I myself also gave this warning to a foreigner that stayed a few days here I feel guilty.
The risk is always there, for sure, but I don't think it is so bad as we make it seems.
não se sinta culpado, vc provavelmente salvou a vida do cara. pesquisa no google, rio turista assalto/morto. a possibilidade de sofrer violencia no rj é altissima.
@@ric_reborn É desse seu exagero que estou falando.
@@deathdoor Não é exagero quando alvo da violência é vc. Ninguém quer fazer parte da estatística, então é melhor prevenir do que remediar.

Great video.....
RIO is RIO, period! P.s: A man wearing a Vasco jersey, corageous!
Yes, but as a tourist you can still be robbed. You don't have to walk with a camera...
Ivana I love your dyed hair ! 🥰😍😍 I think you got it done in Albania ? Do you know which salon ? 💖😀 looks so gorgeous
Maravilhosamente linda!
Eu tenho cagaço só de pensar em ir pro Rio de Janeiro, fui só umas 2x pra capital, e na maioria das vezes eu fiquei no interior(bem mais tranquilo)
Não sei, gente, mas algo me diz que deve ter acontecido algo que eles não quiseram comentar neste vídeo….. Advertidos sobre não andar com câmera grande eles o haviam sido em outras cidades…. Então isso não era novidade e critério para gostar/desgostar de algum lugar. Ademais, essa sumida que deram está muito mal explicada.
Eles ficaram com medo, simples. Muitos comentários maldosos aqui nos vídeos também
Many people raised in Rio don't know Corcovado. I'm one of them.
Thank you to show Brazil how we are.
You guys were right to be aware all the time, we also do that and we live here. Even if you're brazilian, but you from anther state, they always tell u to be carefull there.
Unfortunately it's not safe at all, Rio is probably the most dangerous state in Brazil.
For everyone that wants to visit rio, I wouldnt recomend to come to be exploring by itself, come with a programmed rout of everything you want to do and visit.
You guys were also lucky cuz you have friends in there and that makes a lot of difference.
Já fui no Cristo Redentor a muito tempo
Funny you titled the analysis "heaven and hell" , a famous Brazilian music states Rio is the "Wonder city Purgatory of Beauty and Chaos", Rio 40 Graus is the name, and there's no better way to put it
Told you Floripa was much better. No doubt Rio is a wonderful city but its dangerous and violent.
