This is a really well put together video. Very dynamic visual and lots of useful information. Now that Carnival is around the corner again, im sure this video will take off 🚀. Congratulations! Keep up the great work

[@felisaxo]

Thank you so much, appreciate your support!!

[@LaurenD25]

The sunset sailboat, botanical garden, and helicopter ride look amazing!! Would love to visit 😍

[@felisaxo]

All the zen stuff hahaha except helicopter ride, but that was definitely a highlight and I would say a must do to see Christ the redeemer!!

[@yisel2125]

Thank you for all this info!

[@felisaxo]

Thank you for watching!!

[@1685mopsie]

We went in 1997 and I loved it. The food is not that great, but I live in New Orleans so have high expectations. The parades through the Sambadrome were amazing! I saw many people that looked like friends and relatives in the USA. I’m sure things have changed a lot. I would definitely go back but with a group, including men.

[@felisaxo]

Couldn't agree with this more!! This still resonates today. We found the steakhouses and japanese food to be incredible though. And I would definitely go back again with men or people who speak Portuguese and know the area!

[@user-id6hz4cf8m]

God, the production value on this vlog is incredible. Keep it up!

[@felisaxo]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jediknight38]

I've heard that at any time before Carnival, street parties can break out at the butt-crack of dawn and can continue on until God-knows-when.

[@felisaxo]

YUP!! Parties went on until 7-8am, and then new parties would start at 8am! So it was endless hahah we couldn't do it

[@markbonner182]

Loved for vlog. The energy was fantastic and your itinerary was right on but your closing statements were discouraging. My wife and I have traveled extensively band found Rio to be a safe place to visit with the caviate of using common sense. Don't show expensive camerOas or bling. Use your hotel staff to let you know where it is safe to go. Stay with the crowds and avoid side streets. Use uber to travel especially at night. These are the same guidelines I use in Europe, and the United States. I feel safer in Rio than New York, Washington DC, London, or Paris.

[@felisaxo]

Thanks for sharing your experience. This video shares my experience as a female traveler in Rio. It is commonly advised for females to travel with a males when in Rio for safety reasons - because you do get treated very differently whether a male is with you or not. I live in New York and travel to Europe, South and Central America often solo and still felt incredibly unsafe in Rio.

❤❤❤❤

[@ArielleDalia]

I'm not much of a partier anymore either, so it looked a bit intimidating honestly! But that helicopter ride looked amazing!

[@felisaxo]

Going there when it’s not carnival would be such a different experience and not as party oriented! The helicopter ride was definitely one of the favorite things I did in Rio. Highly recommend!!

[@CarlosBergami]

Nice video! I1m brazilian and a litle afraid of Rio Carnival, but you had survive! Congrats!!

[@some_one_2_3]

Skip to 4:45 for carnival

[@user-zx1zz2gx5u]

How much was the helicopter ride, per person or per helicopter, and how much time in the air

[@keith099]

Did u see blu and jewel?? Hehe

[@eklasuddin_pappu]

NICE VLOG MAM

[@felisaxo]

Thank you!

[@eklasuddin_pappu]

@@felisaxo Ma'am can I send you a gmail about your youtube topic.

[@raisingtrilingualkids]

Looks so fun! Food looks so good. Are there mosquitos? 💀

[@felisaxo]

Yesss there were 😭 ended up buying bug spray which helped A BIT

[@edriannarodriguez7991]

I am plaining to go to rio for the carnival but I don’t know any company that sell the tickets for the carnival, can you tell me one?

[@antonioalvigi6730]

How did you book the helicopter tour? Do you think is it ok to book it once arrived or is it “risky” due to high demand during carnival time?

[@felisaxo]

We showed up and booked on the spot. There was no wait and we went during carnival aka high season!

[@yazmontoya4642]

$66 for tickets? Where did you get them. All I'm seeing is +$250

[@MrTimetravler]

where do u book the tickets to the sambadome!???

[@alinneflores]

No site da carnaval liga

[@AnaPaula-nh6hb]

Where did you stay?

[@felisaxo]

Stayed at an Airbnb in Ipanema

[@AnaPaula-nh6hb]

That is nice and smart.@@felisaxo

[@fabiosilva9637]

You could’ve gone to floripa instead, get the chill nature and beach experience but feeling a lot safer.
