Be aware as a tourist in rio de janeiro

I agree! Wether in Peru, Panama or Rio, always be careful. Showing off never gets you any good! And you need 1 onze of good judgment, walking alone at night in some parts of Rio might not be the best idea! People who get 'scammed' in Rio or other similar place, would get 'scammed' in almost every part of the world!

Rio de Janeiro is a large city in Brazil, on the South Atlantic coast. Rio is famous for its breathtaking landscape, its laidback beach culture and its annual carnival.Rio was the cradle of three of Brazil most important musical genres: samba, choro, and bossa nova. In recent years, there has been a boom of traditional samba and choro venues.

Well, in any country, there are always a street or two in the city wherein it can be dangerous to the tourist. it can be cause of a few things. one would be crime for robbing. I think it is one of the biggest reason on why crime rate increase. I'd say, if there were more jobs for the people and they had a chance for a new start or a better life, crime rate just might decrease.

Surely, crime is an issue in every city on some "wrong street" caution and being informed are very key to an enjoyable holiday.
