NOTES FROM BRAZIL
A slower day in Rio
Start early, leave room for a café stop and let a neighborhood set the pace. Walk the waterfront, keep water with you and choose one area to get to know rather than crossing the entire city in a day.
Leave room in the day
Choose a few places that sit close together. A short walk with a good pause often reveals more than a rushed list of stops.
Ask someone who lives here
A local host can connect a viewpoint or a square to the people and everyday routines around it. Bring questions and leave time to listen.

ANOTHER NOTE FROM BRAZIL
A few more things to take with you.
Walking Paraty’s historic streets
Paraty rewards a gentle pace. Wear shoes with grip for the uneven cobbles, carry a light layer for changing weather and leave time to browse the small shops and cafés between the squares.

Before a day in the dunes
The sun and sand shape the pace of a day in Lençóis Maranhenses. Carry water and sun protection, check the day’s conditions with your host and travel lightly so walking between the lagoons stays comfortable.
