I just came back from Brazil and did both cities, I prefer São Paulo over Rio all the way. The people and nightlife is amazing! A lot of money there as well.
Thanks for checking out the video brotha. Like I said, you can’t go wrong with either spot. Brazil is a win win all the way around. You gonna love rio bruh. When I’m in Rio I’m feeling rio more, when I’m in São Paulo I say São Paulo is better haha. Peace bro
As a Brazilian I agree with most of your analysis! One mistake was about weather. São Paulo usually is very humid too, not so dry as you say in the begining of the video. Safety is much better, way better than in Rio! Just one data: São Paulo has 5,5 murders per 100.000 inhabitants per year, which is better than several big US cities. Rio has 18, three times more! Thec same for other crimes. São Paulo offers much more opportunities for business and for jobs, that's why it grew so much! Rio is reaaly good for beach life.
If you're looking for variety, go to SP, it's about 10x bigger than Rio. But most of our parties, are "nomades'. They don't stay at the same place for more than 2 or 3 weeks. That's why, some of than, are hard to be found.
@@Caligo92 To falando a "área útil"😂😂 A gente aki tem é mato pa caraio e meia dúzia de prédios e já ficamos nos achando Os Urbanos 😂😂 Sp dá até tonteira de tanta coisa e tanto bairro gigante.
Just found your channel tonight. I'm getting re acquainted with south america through RUclips. Absolutely love Sâo Paulo. In my top ten to retire. Great update. Drivers license says I'm 57 but really only feel 40 something lol. You are a well spoken individual. With a Keen eye, that shows the world, what else is out there to explore. Keep it up buddy, we all appreciated very much CHEERS 🙏
just go back few days ago from both places. I actually find Sao Paulo pricier. Rio is cheaper for typical Brazilian food and Sao Paulo, more for unique cuisines. What did you do at Villa-Lobos? I enjoyed Ibirapuera Park a lot, riding around.
Yeah I would say SP is pricier for food, but the food is much much better. The airbnbs are cheaper in SP in peak season. I prefer SP to Rio. If I want beach in Brazil I’d hit Salvador, but that’s just me. Vila lobos is cool, but I think Ibirapuera is the park to be at. More esthetically pleasing and much more to do. Better calisthenicsparks too. Peace bro
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
I would recommend you to visit the country side of both states. Rio de Janeiro State is much more tha just the Rio de Janeiro city, either São Paulo. São Paulo state particularly has everything anyone could wish for (beautiful beaches, mountains and the richest cities in the country). I also recommend you to visit Florianopolis, place where the most beautiful girls in the world lives that also has one of the coolest beaches and night life in the country. Salvador, Maceio, Recife and others are others incredible places that I would love to see you vloging.
I definitely need to check out the country side. Looking forward to taking a longer trip to really do some exploring. Florianopolis and Salvador have definitely been on my radar though. Thanks for the recommendations and the information brotha! Peace
Not sure what ticket prices are now, but I got tickets from Rio to São Paulo for about 50$ one way. One week per spot would be perfect for the first time. Everything is pretty cheap down there
@@Hybridathletes would you recommend Medellin or Brazil for a first time solo traveler looking for girls...not necessarily prostitutes but just regular girls
mike b Brazil, but depends on your flavor. Brazil is more diverse. Less prostitution in Brazil for sure. You can meet professional women in Brazil. Colombia meeting any woman other then a prostitute is not gonna happen if your just in town for a week and don’t speak Spanish fluent lol. Colombia has a great median for fine women though, but for top notch Brazil has the edge all day
@@Hybridathletes I am in São Paulo now, spent 2 weeks here and 4 weeks in Rio and I felt women in São Paulo are more curious and approachable than Rio which saturated with tourists
Thanks for the content as usual. Which is an area that is close to the nightlife and the beach so that you avoid that heavy traffic? I know you are into Hip Hop and do you know if they play EDM (I am talking about SP in all of my questions). Thanks!
Copacabana beach, ipanema beach are in walking distance from each other. Plenty of bars and clubs in those areas. Honestly they didn’t have much Hip Hop in Brazil and I didn’t hear any EDM. I mostly heard Brazilian music, which is also good. I’m sure you can find some places that have EDM though.
I've watched a lot of travel videos but you do it better than anyone. To everyone else I recommend you check out several cities Medellin as well. Dress nice, be friendly, go out and speak the local language every day it will work for you.
Well done with your video, you've hit the nail right on the head. Rio prices are ridiculous! It's because they had the World Cup and Olympics there. When these events happened prices in Rio for everything sky rocketed, and haven't come down much since. For example all the beach bar huts were yellow then and all sponsored by Skol. The price back then, before those events for beer or caiprinha was 3 reais. For a large one it was 5. However in 2020 the cheapest price I've seen at the Copacabana/Ipanema beach bars for a small beer is 15, and 20 for a small caiprinha, and I've only seen two places with those prices! Restaurants and even street vendors have increased their prices ridiculously! Your bang on correct about how your treated in Rio compared to Paulo Very good video
Nice work again Jon! Again, I have seen my fair share of the Brazil vlogs, but not like the way you do them. I like the forwardness and no BS of your vlogs. I enjoyed this one immensely. Editing, footage, etc. Still seeing what's up with the coronavirus and will look for tickets tonight...Travel is so cheap now...Peace Man
Thank you man, I really appreciate the love. The coronavirus thing is really throwing a monkey wrench in all industries, especially travel. I’m more worried about travel bans and not being able to get back and forth! Crazy man...hopefully this all blows over sooner rather then lingering on.
@@Hybridathletes so true! Tickets are hot, but I gotta have another window up to research if I can even be welcomed back. Stay safe out there. I'm not tripping, but you never know. Hawaii only has like two cases thankfully for you. In either case, it acts like a really bad flu and won't really faze anyone unless you are elderly/and or have compromised immunity. Looking forward to your next vlogs:)
Absolutely bro, you gotta do your research, but Like you said, as long as you keep yourself healthy, and are smart about things you should be good. Thanks bro, got some more on the way!
Rio is in the Tropic of Capricorn, which is considered close to the equator. You should review your Geography. Look up Tropics and sub Tropics. I said close not on
Fairexchange41 honestly I think it depends on the individual. I personally would say São Paulo, but I’m sure a lot of people would say Rio though. I haven’t been to Salvador yet though so I couldn’t give my 2 cents on that
Neither Rio or SP. Belo Horizonte is much better with a lot more to offer. Rio is only slightly north of SP. SP is tucked in the mountains. Rio has mountains, but is on the ocean. Being surrounded by mountains has a big influence on weather. BH has the best food and people of the 3.
Lol. Man you need to go to the funk dances. Ask some locals to take you to Baile Gaiola. Or if you like clubs West Show or Boate club. You like resturants, go to Paris 6 in Barra da Tijuca or Pobre Juan also in the same neighborhood. Pizzeria Guanabara in Leblon
I think that it depends on the neighborhoods your in. If your in a high end or affluent neighborhood, you find more English speakers in both cities. Thanks for checking out the video brotha.
@@Hybridathletes that's true, but because this mountain for me that's look more like LA, miami looks more like bahia btw really great video about this place. I'm from east europe and I saw this all black lives matters protest and shit, can you say me is really that big racism there or all this is political game?
Nathan Smith America has a lot of racism and there are many problems in the country regarding race issues, but most of what the media pushes is political agenda driven.

I feel like Sao Paulo is much better to live tho. Betterr nighlife, good city structure and more stuff to do.
São Paulo to live and Rio to visit 👍🏽 SP❤️
I just came back from Brazil and did both cities, I prefer São Paulo over Rio all the way. The people and nightlife is amazing! A lot of money there as well.
Agreed. Sao Paulo feels more authentic people wise, but Rio is beautiful. That nature is awesome
@@Hybridathletes thanks bro I'm planning on visiting Sao Paulo Brazil
Dope
I love Rio de janeiro, the vibe, the people, the beaches and everything here
Rio is the ultimate party city.
Man, I needed that comparative analysis. Perfect timing! Appreciate bro...I’m sticking with Rio this trip! 🤙🏽

Rio de Janeiro is the best. The beach, the people, the vibe, it’s a dream
Great video--best transitions, tone, info, and overall great job.
Thanks, appreciate the support!
Yeah, the choice between Rio and Sao Paulo is a tough one. I think for overall living Sao Paulo offers more.
Agreed
Rio de janeiro ❤️
JD all your hard work will pay off bro ✊🏾 keep dishing out these videos and the information your provide is so valuable. Respect!
Appreciate it fam. I’m gonna keep dropping them. Glad you are enjoying them bro. Your trip is coming up soon! I’m juiced for you haha.
Travelsthenix aaah man I’m counting the nights bro. 3 more to go it’s count down season 🤣😂🤣🙏🙏🙏👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Very informative video my boy
Great information brother.
You have to go to SECRET beach. That's the best beach within the city. Its pass Recreio neigborhood
Word, I gotta get there fasho
Good video I appreciate Like how you compares New York to sao Pablo and rio to MIA make sense 💯
Thanks for checking out the video brotha. Yeah man, both dope cities, just in different ways. Can’t wait to get back to both
💞💞 Sao Paulo Im from
Great video!
Much appreciated
Is there places like sao paulo in the us I wanna start traveling and São Paulo looks fun I like the everybody outside chilling vibe it gots
My bad I seen u answered that in the video
if traveling there for the 1st time would it be pretty easy to spend 1 week in each city? pretty cheap airfares im assuming?

So Just to confirm, women on average are more approachable and friendlier to foreigners in Sao Paulo than Rio?
I would say so, but everyone has different experiences

Rio close to the equator? You need to Review your geography class notes bud!
Rio is in the Tropic of Capricorn, which is considered close to the equator. You should review your Geography. Look up Tropics and sub Tropics. I said close not on
Medellin or São Paulo Which city has hotter women and more fun!? 🤩✌🏻
São Paulo, it’s not even close.
Hopefully will be going on holidays to SP / Rio for 30 days in September.
Legend, awesome videos brother
Appreciate it brotha 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

Which one is better for carnival?
Rio...But São Paulo is dope too.
@@Hybridathletes thanks for replying, which one do American brothers have a better chance of hooking up with women, and what about Salvador?
Fairexchange41 honestly I think it depends on the individual. I personally would say São Paulo, but I’m sure a lot of people would say Rio though. I haven’t been to Salvador yet though so I couldn’t give my 2 cents on that
Sp is sux bro, RIO is HEaven
Neither Rio or SP. Belo Horizonte is much better with a lot more to offer. Rio is only slightly north of SP. SP is tucked in the mountains. Rio has mountains, but is on the ocean. Being surrounded by mountains has a big influence on weather. BH has the best food and people of the 3.
Gonna have to check out Belo Horizonte fore sure when I get back down to Brazil
Thanks bro that was informative
Thanks for checking the video out. Trying to be as informative as possible.

Lol. Man you need to go to the funk dances. Ask some locals to take you to Baile Gaiola. Or if you like clubs West Show or Boate club. You like resturants, go to Paris 6 in Barra da Tijuca or Pobre Juan also in the same neighborhood. Pizzeria Guanabara in Leblon
I need to take all these notes down for my next trip down. I would prefer the funk dances over clubs
Sick video... how far is Rio and Sao Paulo- road or air?
I’m not to sure about by road, but by air it’s an hour and flights are around 50$ one way
Distância 430km, bus, preço + - 22 dólares
Hello sir, are you in Rio atm? 🥰
Unfortunately not! I wish I was still down there
Been to Rio twice. Did you find more english speaking people in Sao Paulo? I'm gonna hit up the southern area of Brazil this fall.
I think that it depends on the neighborhoods your in. If your in a high end or affluent neighborhood, you find more English speakers in both cities.
Thanks for checking out the video brotha.
Can I smoke weed in Rio ?
Yeah, not too hard to find
Rio de Janeiro search Barra da Tijuca and Recreio dos Bandeirantes
I would be going nuts if i lived in Brazil. I wouldn't be able to stay in just one city too long. Way too much ass to see for that🤣
Oh my
Is it dangerous to walk out at night? Also can a tourist go up north Rio during the day, is it safe?
It is safe to gout day or night in both cities. Just be mindful of what neighborhood you are in and don't e flashy
@@Hybridathletes As tourists if we go up north of Rio, we won't know if the neighbourhood is safe or not
@@johnnyj1969 I haven't been to the north of Rio. I would recommend to go with a local if your going to a local type neigh borhood.
