We are NOT AFFILIATED with any clubs, and as such, we would hope that your instructor would feel comfortable letting you go on a trip of this nature as an “Amazing Training Opportunity”  Also, we will be training at various clubs such as Gordo’s, Gracie Barra, Gracie Humaita, in Rio de Janeiro.  If you or your instructors have any questions, feel free to contact us!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Training

We will be training with Gordo at his gym, in Barra, just across the canal from the Beach.  It is very common in Brazil to train with World-Class Black Belts of all shapes and sizes and in our travels, we have run into the likes of Murillo Bustamante, Mario Sperry, Royler Gracie and Ricardo De La Riva, Filipe Costa, just to name a few.   More...

Beaches - ipanema, copacabana, & barra do pepe

It's no secret. Rio de Janeiro is all about the beach. It is the people's center of entertainment and relaxation, and anyone who's ever been to Brazil will tell you there is nothing quite like it anywhere! Catch some rays, surf, jog, play soccer or simply crack open an ice cold beer while checking out some of the world's hottest bodies!  The beaches we recommend are Ipanema, Barra do Pepe and Copacabana.  And yes, it’s still cool in Rio to wear a speedo.

Scenery & Excursions

Rio de Janeiro is the world's most beautiful city. PERIOD. (Believe us, we have scoured the globe looking for the most exotic and beautiful places to travel and we have found it!) During our stay in Rio we will go on many different daily excursions to show you the beauty of Rio and it's surrounding areas. Can't miss tours are Corcovado (Christ Statue) and Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf Mountain) as well as a game at Maracana stadium. (time permitting)

Adventure

In the mood for an adrenaline rush? Rio de Janeiro offers many different adventure travel options from surfing, windsurfing, high speed go-carting, white water rafting and hang gliding, to hiking through jungles,  rock climbing,  canopy walks and horseback riding.  

Nightlife in Rio

If you want to party like a rock star, you've certainly come to the right place! Rio de Janeiro's nightlife is one of the best in the world!  Whether you find yourself at a Street Party, a Beach Concert on Copacabana Beach (Rolling Stones and Lenny Kravitz Live Earth), looking for a relaxing bar to have a couple of capirinhas, or want to get decked out and party with Rio's high society, Rio has a scene for everyone! 

The best part about Rio de Janeiro's nightlife is the people. Not only are they some of the sexiest on earth, Rio's locals love to party and are very friendly. See Photo Gallery

Unlike other huge party cities, Rio's nightlife is spread out all over the city. The hottest clubs are not in the tourist areas like Miami's South Beach or L.A.'s Sunset Strip. If you are not a local, it will be hard to find the hottest spot each night of your stay and if you do find it, it will be difficult to get past the huge lines and bouncers, who do not speak English.

Living Arrangements / Accomodations

You will stay in a luxury apartment overlooking the best (and safest) Beaches in Rio.  Your Tour Guides will live with you and you will have two maids cooking and cleaning on weekdays for the duration of the trip.  During downtime, you can wander across the street to the Beach or enjoy the shops and restaurants and amazing little patios in the immediate area.  Traveling with Tour Guides (at least one who was born and raised in Rio) who know the lay of the land and speak Brazilian Portuguese makes for a very unique and special “Trip of a Lifetime”.
