Brazil isn't for the faint of heart. This is much more accurate for the nation's pulsating, crazy beachfront metropolis, Rio de Janeiro. A town of differences, Rio de Janeiro is the place where widely diverse worlds rub shoulders and the unforeseen hides around every corner.

Make a right on a stroll in the fashionable beachside communities of Copacabana and Ipanema and you will bump right into a vibrant tropical forest. Make a left, and luxurious rio flats direct the way to to a shanty town favela.

It's this closeness among wealthy and poor, metropolis and nature that gives Rio its high intensity. But it also makes navigation difficult for first-time tourists on holiday. It is even more challenging for the duration of Carnival season, when city roads morph into rowdy celebrations with thousands of costumed partiers dancing to contagious samba rhythms.

In Rio, the beach is a life-style in which the week-ends draw large crowds to swim, surf, walk, bbq, gossip, tease and strut on the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. Through the summertime of January to March, the hordes are often so heavy that towel-size real estate property can be difficult to find.

Thievery has long been a challenge on the beach, however the government's recent takeover of several regional slums has advanced safety through the metropolis together with boosting the real-estate worth of luxury rio penthouses and apartments in rio de janeiro. Still, it is best to leave all valuable items at home and avoid drawing focus to yourself by dressing similar to the locals.

Crowds are really an inevitable fact in Rio throughout Carnival as a huge number of vacationers descend onto the metropolis and rents apartments in rio. Nonetheless the crowning jewel of Carnival continues to be the two-night long competition at the Sambodromo. 13 samba schools compete for the top award parading their fancy floats, enormous percussion sections and troops of costume outfitted performers performing Brazil's signature samba as spectators look on from the bleachers.
