Rio De Janeiro Carnival

Sharon Rio De Janeiro Carnival

Sharon asks…

What area is it best to stay during the carnival in Rio De Janeiro (Brazil, South America)?

I’d like to stay near a beach – we have also heard that renting an apartment is cheaper, rather than a hotel. Any suggestions?

I’m afaid during Carnival all accomodation in Rio doubles in price.

I would try Craigs list ,

Perhaps you make an exchange of apparts.

Avoid staying in Copacabana, Ipanema , try Leme, or Botofogo.
This will save you money
