Hi,
I am in Rio de Janeiro and would like to go to Ilha Grande next friday, the 24th of may 2013 until the 27th.
I've been told that during weekends, it get's quite packed, and you need to book in advance;
Since it is low season now, is this still recommended?

Also: Does anybody can recommend me a place to stay? I am in my 30's, single traveller, would like to meet nice people, but not be in a place full with party-people.

Thank you!!

Hi! I work for a US airline and I am excited to go to Rio for Carnival 2014 confirmed! Sadly, looks like I will be travelling alone as my friends all work for airlines and might not make the flights. I want to book a budget room but everywhere seems to require a minimum of 6 nights or be equally pricey for 1 night. Does anyone know if leftover rooms price down during carnival or up for desperate travellers? Anyone live in copacabana, ipenema or leblon and have spareroom to rent?

We just found out that we will be in/around Rio during the start of Carnival 2014! We are just working on an itinerary for two weeks in Brazil, however things have changed since out recent discovery. Here's what we were thinking of doing:
1/30 - Buenos Aires-Iguazu Falls
1/31 - Iguazu - Salvador
2/4 - Salvador - Ouro Preto(via Belo Horizonte)
2/7-Ouro Preto-Rio
2/10-Rio-Buzios
2/14 Buzios to GIG(late flight home)
I think getting accommodations on Rio on the dates suggested will be a nightmare! Should we go to Rio at the start of Carnival or perhaps the end of our trip 2/12-14?? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
