Rio... my dream destination

[@catandmarcos]

Thank you so much!! We didn’t do Copacabana, we went to Ipanema & Barra. Those beaches are a bit nicer snd cleaner 😊

I grew up in Vidigal and I love living here. It’s a vibrant place, with a welcoming favela and incredible views. I’m really happy that you chose to stay in Vidigal and showed your channel’s audience the beauty and spirit of this special place. Thank you for sharing this experience and helping to highlight the value of our favela.

[@catandmarcos]

Comments like these are why we love traveling! We were so happy to have the opportunity to stay in Vidigal and experience its amazing culture.

Absolutely an amazing VLOG with such great details. The drone work was top notch. My wife and I are going in February for our 10 year anniversary.

[@catandmarcos]

thank you so much! Hope you guys have the best time! :)

[@Liberty_Revolution]

10:06 Good thing the guide was paying attention, LOL

[@CornellScott-wd8nl]

Amazing video 🎉❤.

[@tiasha6098]

I would love to do that one hike but I hear it's just not safe. You guys even waited until the sun's fully set. Kudos 😮

[@dollydarshan24]

Thank you for putting me at ease as I just booked a trip to Rio and was considering to cancel after reading about how dangers on the internet. One question though, u seem to have shot with expensive gear. So, is it really okay to take pictures on your iphone and be safe?? I was wondering if I have to invest in a cheap point and shoot camera??

[@catandmarcos]

yeah I mean most of everything you saw here was shot on my Canon R5, Mavic Air 2s, and DJI Action Camera haha. I just used kinda like common sense and vibes of when and where not to take it out. I would usually just strap it to my bag on my attachment but here I just got whatever shot it was that I needed, and then put it back in the bag after. I only flew my drone in places without a crowd, besides in Buzios, it is very safe there so I had my camera out and about no problem. I also was veeeeery hesitant about bringing it after some google searches. Thankfully I did because I got some wonderful photos and videos and honestly never felt unsafe. Just don't have the camera and phones out near major tourist traps like Copacabana beach, there are kids there who try and steal your things from your hands and then run

[@chinonsomichael9839]

Love your videos guys

[@catandmarcos]

Thank you so much! 😁😁

[@shalmon23]

Hey guys! Which drone did you take and what are the laws?

[@catandmarcos]

Dji mavic Air 2s! Honestly not sure of the regulated official laws. They really don't care haha I usually go with more of seek forgiveness rather than ask permission. Just use common sense when flying always please! No direct flyovers of stadiums, government buildings, very populated places, and sacred locations.

[@SiddarthSanghvi]

My own colleagues (Brazilians) mentioned to me that it is not safe to travel to Rio alone as a foreigner. Now I am quite confused whether I should visit Rio or not? Can someone please guide me regarding their recent experiences?

[@catandmarcos]

I felt the same way lol, my own friend in Brazil told me to bring a helmet to Rio because it is so dangerous. These are usually the people who see all the negatives in certain places. I can walk down the wrong ally in Miami and be in danger. Please don't be scared, as long as you use common sense and not stick out like a sore thumb, you will be okay and love it!

[@r.f.9872]

120 USD per night at Vidigal is kind of ridiculous though

[@YasminPixton]

I want to plan a trip next year but was hesitant just from what i heard and that’s it’s super unsafe. All videos I have found on KZbin are the opposite.

[@catandmarcos]

it just depends honestly. Anywhere can be dangerous. Just don't have your phones our taking selfies everywhere you go and you will be fine. Be cautious, know your surroundings, and use common sense. If you do that, I really don't think you have anything to be worried about :) also don't stick out like a sore thumb. I've seen people wearing luxury brand designs, rolex, and nice shoes. Just don't do that unless you are going out to dinner

[@YasminPixton]

@@catandmarcos Makes total sense, no need to be flashy I agree. I am excited to visit Rio next year.

[@catandmarcos]

@@YasminPixton yes you will have an amazing time!! Have fun! :)

[@Edgar2023ES]

If we compare Brazil with Europe, of course, Brazil will be considered very unsafe. But if we compare real Brazil with what the media said about Brazil, we will consider real Brazil safe. Take your precautions when you stay in Brazil and relax. On the other hand, there are cities safer than Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. I don't recommend avoiding these states. I'm not from these states. Welcome to Brazil!

[@r.f.9872]

Subway is perfectly safe in Rio

[@lucagarofani-ow8cl]

My Brazikian collegues told me that is not safe to travael to Rio alone, even if I am a grown man.

[@catandmarcos]

it really depends on what you do, who you're with, and common sense at the end of the day. we ubered everywhere, didn't go to the top tourist beach there, and just played it smart with our surroundings

[@arthurgomes1994]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@mattyarce7424]

Went there twice and already planning to go there again this year. Twice was never enough and this city continues to amaze me 🥹
