About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Cidade Maravilhosa, já estou a planejar quando vou regressar (mesmo que ainda esteja aqui) :)

[Geko Hostel Pousada Paraty · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is great for some general ideas about how to get around, but the smaller places near Rio are not quite right. For example, our little Paraty is being portrayed as only a historic town, when there's a whole other world around it that has much to offer. We invite you to visit http://www.infoparaty.com or http://www.gekohostel.com/pt/Paraty-i... for more information about Paraty.

An optimal guide to use when in Rio de Janeiro. There are even activities and places listed there to go for free

[Natalie Lamb · Rating 5 out of 5]

A helpful guide specifically for Rio but published in 2019 so some info might be outdated.

[Nicola Byrne · Rating 3 out of 5]

My fault, but this is dated 2019 so quite a bit is out of date.

Also to note that in Rio, Bar Urca is not that great at all. Quite a walk, abit of a dirty place but food was OK of sorts. Personally I wouldn't bother with it for the time it took us to walk there.

The book does not highlight Uber but a few more local taxi options. Personally I would stick with Uber, it never let us down at all and you can hire the bikes through Uber as long as you upload your passport to the site.

Muy buena información, dividida por actividades y barrios, además de conocimientos útiles. Siempre es un placer leer una guía Lonely Planet por la certeza de los datos y la agilidad del discurso.
