Yesterday I was fortunate enough to get taken into Rio biggest favela. Rocinha is home to 75 000 people and truly is a town within a city. It is run by drug lords and walking by teenagers holding machine guns and AK 47’s made it all the more eye opening. When you look past the bullet holes there were far more people that greeted us with loving kindness. So grateful for this experience on my last day in Brazil. #streetart #beautifulbrazil #travelbrazil #riodejaneiro #favelas #racinha #theurbangypsy

Carnival 2019!!!!!! I can’t even believe that we were at Rio’s Champions Parade. I have never seen anything so grand and celebratory. The costumes, floats and just the energy inside the Sambódromo was indescribable! #beautifulbrazil #explorebrazil #Riocarnival #carnival2019 #incrediblecarnival #theurbangypsy #wanderlust

Today was a crazy day of many highs! It started with hang gliding over Rio, taking in the most glorious street art and taking a cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain to see the sun set! Rio you are pretty spectacular! #beautifulbrazil #explorebrazil #riodejaneiro #hanggliding #streetart #sugarloafmountain #wanderlust #brazil #theurbangypsy

Off the grid in Brazil’s Pantanal! The Pantanal is the biggest wetland in the world! It is bigger than the size of France! The abundance of birds and other wildlife is insane! #beautifulbrazil #pantanal #explorebrazil #natureatitsbest #wanderlust #theurbangypsy

Today we are in Bonito and although all the activities we had planned to do were fully booked up we managed to spend the day near a river full of waterfalls and sunshine. Brazil is pretty remarkable! #brazil #explorebrazil #bonito #beautifulbrazil #wanderlust #theurbangypsy

Iguazú Falls from the Argentinian side! Also a few bits of wildlife thrown in there too. Today we took a boat straight under the falls! #iguacufalls #iguazufalls #argentina #brazil #caymans #monkeys #wanderlust #exploremore #adventure #theurbangypsy

No matter where you go you’ll find incredible street art and murals. Here are a few more on our way to Iguaçu. The next bunch are from the Brazilian side of Iguaçu Falls. These falls that border both Brazil and Argentina make up the biggest waterfall system in the world. The last pics are of a momma capybara and her three babies. Just one of the many diverse wildlife that live in the national park. #brazil #iguacu #iguacufalls #travelbrazil #wanderlust #adventure #theurbangypsy #streetart #capybara

Today took us on horse back through a small town, through waterfalls and up a mountain to see the most magnificent views. My pics don’t do it justice! #wanderlust #adventure #paraty #brazil #travelbrazil #iloveparaty #theurbangypsy

A trip is never complete without a Heather mishap! Klutzy me fell down stairs, sprained my ankle and to top it off knocked my head face first into a ceramic pot! I knocked out half my tooth so was lucky that this awesome dentist was able to see me right away. The other pics are from a boat tour around Paraty. #paraty #brazil #travelbrazil #imaklutz #wanderlust #adventure #theurbangypsy #dentistinbrazil

Today was we moved on from Ilha Grande and traveled to Paraty. This cute little Portuguese Colonial town is a UNESCO Heritage Site and rightly so! Absolutely picturesque - before and after the thunder storm. #paraty #brazil #travelbrazil #wanderlust #adventure #theurbangypsy #unescoworldheritage

Today was pretty spectacular! We took a speedboat around Ilha Grande and stopped off at several different beaches. Snorkeling, swimming and soaking in the beauty! #ilhagrande #brazil #travelbrazil #wanderlust #adventure #theurbangypsy

I didn’t have any internet yesterday but here are a few snapshots of Ilha Grande. A beautiful island without any cars. #ilhagrande #brazil #wanderlust #adventure #theurbangypsy

Rio de Janeiro baby! Getting a tour where the tour guide doesn’t acknowledge you and he speaks only in Spanish made it a bit challenging figuring out what we were going to see but here are a few snapshots from the day. Rio is definitely crazy beautiful! Ps the dome shaped building is a cathedral. #brazil #riodejaneiro #wanderlust #theurbangypsy #adventure #christtheredeemer

Day #4 in Búzios found us at another amazing beach. This time we were at Brava Beach spending the day at Rocka Beach Lounge & Restaurant. Spending the day chilling on these beds, eating fantastic food and sipping some amazing drinks...oh ya and going for a swim too obviously! Even though it rained most of the it really couldn’t damper our spirits! A special thanks to our server Roobin! #brazil #travelbrazil #buzios #rockabeachlounge #bravabeach #wanderlust #adventure #theurbangypsy

Day #3 in Búzios. Pic#1 is another shot from our balcony. It’s so green here! Pic#2&3 are from the beautiful Geriba Beach. Pic#4 is the stunning view with an infinite pool at a fancy ass restaurant called Mistico Sunset (Dumb and Dumber missed the sunset) and lastly the final pic is of the famous statue of Brigitte Bardot...an icon here in Buzios. #brazil #travelbrazil #wanderlust #buzios

Day #2 in Búzios, Brazil 🇧🇷 Today we spent most of the day in the Centro where we people watched, shopped and drank. At one point we sat at a bar that overlooked the ocean and even watched sea turtles swim by! The other highlight was of course the hot cops! 🤣 #brazil #travelbrazil #wanderlust #buzios

Day #1 in Buzios, Brazil. Pic1 is the view from our balcony. Absolutely stunning! Pic2 is the pool at our hotel. Also not too shabby. Pic3 is the result of pic2. I went willy nilly with my sunscreen and I’m a hurting unit tonight! And pic4 is our hunt to find some groceries. This grocery store was obviously stocked to the brim! #brazil #travelbrazil #buzios #wanderlust #burnttoacrisp #nofoodingrocerystores

Look out Brazil, here I come! Just a few more days until my next adventure! #brazil #travelbrazil #wanderlust #adventure #exploremore #ilovetravelling #theurbangypsy
