Quoted: Im in Rio De Janeiro. Went to Buzios for 3 days when I first got here. Buzios is definatly a fantastic vacation spot and I would recomend Buzios over Hawaii any day. Rio De Janeiro reminds me of a really poor Chicago that has a beach.

If you like SCUBA diving try Angra dos Reis. It's south the coast of Rio, wereas Buzios in in the north coast. Water is alsmot transparent as air over there.
Rio used to be a nice place but latest elected politicians that do not differ from some liberals and democRATs I see here literally destroyed the city by granting all rights to criminals whereas honest citizens were deprived from guns and even knives. Actually, if a honest citizen kills a criminal even in his home he will face all sorts of charges and will likely go to jail whereas the criminal is a "victim of the society". Even the police has its hands tied and ammo is tightly controlled and policemen have to explain each fired round. Actually, the criminals made a "sport" killing policemen in ambushes. Imagine Rio as the US in the future if the liberal scum wins. There's a long time I do not recommend anyone going there and, on the contrary, keeping distance. To make things worse even the federal government decided to support anti-gun laws and other liberal laws that are dragging the country downhill at alarming rates.
The south is more decent. Not sure about how much time you have to spend but you will find better conditions in the southern states. If you have time and like beaches try Santa Catarina and a beach called Camboriu. The place is safer than Rio also.
Feel free to write if you wish to exchange ideas or hints of where to go and not to go.
