I am planning on moving to BRAZIL...That's why I keep watching all kinds of videos about BRAZIL...

[@llarose]

I’ve lacked motivation to get more videos up on this channel. Many of them fall flat with very little fanfare. I promised myself to trudge through anyway. Stay tuned. More coming.

[@agoradacerto]

The place you noticed deforestation is deforested from their native flora since the 1700/1800. This land were basically used for coffee crops. Now, the forest that was being cut is a rotation culture of wood mainly for cellulose.

[@llarose]

I’ll take you at your word. Fascinating observation.

Eucalipto!

I would love to visit Rio De janerio and Sao Paulo Brazil 🇧🇷 I want to Travel around the world 🌎

[@llarose]

Visiting Brazil is amazing & beautiful. Living there can be difficult though. Thanks for watching. More to come. Just got back from the Amazon.

This has been incredibly useful for me. Thank you. I am about to take my first trip to Brazil with my new husband, who is from Pindamohangaba. It's crazy that there is no train between Brazil's two largest cities. We plan to rent a car at Sao Paulo and drive to Pinda but we are planning to go to Rio too. My husband has warned me against driving to Rio and I've read lots of negative stories about people getting robbed and shot at around the favelas and horrible traffic. He says we should take a bus but the bus takes something like 8 hours. I'm an Aussie who is used to lots of empty space and good traffic regulations and enforcement and driving on the left. The idea of this drive scares the crap out of me but you have put my mind at ease somewhat. Especially with a GPS.

[@llarose]

I’m Canadian and this drive is fairly routine for me. I generally avoid entering either city at night because 1 wrong turn can set you back 30 minutes. Have never experienced ‘bad guys’ on the road, just really bad, bad, terrible truck drivers that will run you over a cliff without a thought. Gotta check your driving ego at the airport:) - just leave early. It’s winter now so sun is going down earlier at night. Thanks for commenting 🇨🇦👍

[@Crocs_in_the_gym]

There is train but just for cargo. Do a little research about the Rio-Sao Paulo ponte aérea. It was the first of its kind in the world and until today it’s one of the busiest air routes in the world. So the train wasn’t even thought about.

Good trip, good time on brazil, welcome to land of bless´s it.

My pleasure

Great video. Very informative. Beautiful places.

[@llarose]

Thank you for the words.

[@Iktius]

Very nice, fortunately there will be improvements soon in Presidente Dutra Highway (CCR RioSP)

[@llarose]

Yes. I just took the trip again last week. Not sure if the improvements have started but it was quicker.

[@Iktius]

@@llarose they will built a new road in Serra das Araras (speed Will increase from 40 kph to 80 kph) and built new lanes and viaducts in Guarulhos, São José dos Campos as well as some other cities in São Paulo State.

[@llarose]

@@Iktius Good, it’s needed. I’ve noticed a huge decrease in the speed limits around the city. Very slow.

[@walpolenut5351]

Fine video

[@llarose]

Thank you, I have many more. Just a matter of time to get them edited etc.. glad you enjoyed.

[@martingallivanting]

I’m flying to Rio and then rent a car and drive to Cabo Frio. For some reason driving in another country gives me a little bit of anxiety. I was looking for a “review” of Rio’s routes/highways/traffic… This helped a lot!

[@llarose]

I've driven from Rio to Cabo/Buzios a few times. No problem at all, except if you arrive in Cabo on a weekend or holiday, it's packed and adds 20-45 minutes to get into town.

[@martingallivanting]

@@llarose perfect! I arrive to Rio Galeao on a Thursday morning and Im planning on pick up the car from there and return it to the same place on Sunday. How is the traffic in Rio on Sundays? Thanks in advance!

[@llarose]

@@martingallivanting Traffic in Rio on Sunday (to GIG) shouldn't be too bad compared to weekdays. Just beware of the 13 km's long Niteroi Bridge crossing into Rio. It can be a chore. You'll get a taste of it when you leave GIG to head out to Cabo.

[@Iktius]

Please go through CCR Via lagos - RJ-124 (it's a toll highway), considered the best highway in Brazil.

[@FD-rt3rv]

Nice video

[@llarose]

Thank you 🙏

[@joeoconnell3544]

I’m driving from São Paulo to Rio in about a weeks time with my wife and kids, (wife is Brazilian). I’m a bit worried about driving down the linha vermelha, so I’m thinking of driving to Paraty and then taking the 101. What do you think?

[@llarose]

Linha Vermelho is s hit show, but going the Paraty way will add a lot of time. If you're going to the ocean side of Rio, try Linha Amarelha which will take you into Barra da Tijuca, instead of the run-down areas.

[@joeoconnell3544]

@@llarose ah man that’s great, thanks very much for responding! My wife said shootouts between rival drug gangs have been known to happen across the linha vermelha! I’m staying right near Barra da Tijuca so that would work! Where do I get off in the main road? BR465 the use 101? EDIT: so I would get off at Seropedica and then use the 101 and transolimpica…

[@jennerjcruzful]

Drive in daylight and you'll be fine.

[@FOLIPE]

Horrible idea. Much better going the traditional route than Paraty

[@joeoconnell3544]

@@FOLIPE I went through linha vermelha in the end. Wasn’t bad. Drove back to ilhabela through Paraty. It wasn’t a horrible idea. It was a much better road and much more beautiful. Glad I did it.

[@manupado]

Amazing video! It helps me a lot! I'm going to Araruama (Passing Rio) from Sao Paulo this next January (2024). I will rent a car. I didn't know how the road is! Incredible a lot of turns it has! How many toll pass you have in the highway?. Thanks for the video!

[@llarose]

Thank you for commenting. There were at least 9-11 tolls. I have an automatic sensor. Otherwise, bring at least 150R cash just in case.

[@manupado]

@@llarose Okay Thank you very much!

[@onelaurenone]

Great Vid! I want to do this but i want to hire a driver and stop in either Ubatuba/Paraty/Ilha Grande. Hopefully, I can find a driving company willing. Any suggestions?

[@llarose]

Yes, use the BlaBla app

[@viradamusical4401]

😍👏👏👏

[@MrJMR718]

Would it be safe to drive from Salvador Bahia to Fortaleza?

[@llarose]

I haven't personally driven that leg, but if it has tier 1 highways (Tolls, privately or state maintained), I don't think it should provide too many issues.

[@mintaka57]

Fantastique, but not 4K, only 1080p

Thank you and yes, I reversed the camera for a few moments (iPhone to 1080p) and youtube converts the entire video to 1080p. Very observant!

[@CynicalBastard511]

11:55 BMW X4 M40i

[@llarose]

Nailed it. As a car guy, you may be interested that the cost of the X4 M40i in Rio new is about 400,000 Brazilian R$ - absurdly expensive. That’s why I drive my humble LR2 Land Rover 😑 a fraction of the cost, but decent value.

[@CynicalBastard511]

@@llarose BMW has a factory in Brazil. I converted the 400k BRL to USD and it's about 82K USD. Quite expensive indeed. What engine you've got in that Land Rover? I believe it's called Freelander, yes?

2:30 I wonder what “tietes” turned into “marginals” in SP 😂

[@llarose]

Nice twist on words 😂

[@Crocs_in_the_gym]

@@llarose Tietes are those girls that scream and cry for famous singers/actors...

[@rogersantos688]

No man. hahahaha Tiéte (singular) or Tiétes (plural) (same fã, there an sound "é") mean those girls that scream and cry for famous. hahahaha Tietê (has an sound "ê") this sound in portuguese is different when you speak Tiéte (without sound "ê"). The word Marginal can mean "street main" at São Paulo and also people that practice robery/stealing. But, this trip is beatifull to do in Brazil. I'm love go to Rio by car. Take care everyone!

[@pauloadm]

Tietê with "ê" is completaly different compared with "Tiete" Tietê is indigenous word to River next to "Marginal"

[@rapphhael]

You were lucky she didn't see you. Holding your phone while driving (only this) and filming the police would get you a R$293,47 fine and a bit of trouble (art. 252 CTB). There are also some legal measures being developed to fine those who post traffic violations on social media. It almost passed in 2022 but it is not in effect. Don't do that.

[@llarose]

Ah, o policial de trânsito virtual! Obrigado pela explicação jurídica detalhada, Agente Comentador. Fique tranquilo, sou mais um mago do volante do que um malabarista de celular. Segurança em primeiro lugar, sempre! Mas não se preocupe, estou apenas navegando pela rota cênica da criatividade aqui, não pelo código de trânsito.

[@rapphhael]

@@llarose hahaha!

[@adrianoarnold7052]

Move your filming from a side to other is so unpleasant

Very unpleasant indeed. I wish I could have held 2-3 cel phones while driving. Thank you for your feedback.
