What area is it best to stay during the carnival in Rio De Janeiro (Brazil, South America)? I'm afaid during Carnival all accomodation in Rio doubles in price.I would try Craigs list ,http://rio.craigslist.org/Perhaps you make an exchange of apparts.Avoid staying in Copacabana, Ipanema , try Leme, or Botofogo.This will save you money |
