RIO DE JANEIRO HIGHLIGHTS

Whether it’s a sensuous bossa nova wafting across the beach or a frenzied Carnaval samba through the city streets, music is the sexy glue that holds Rio together. Gay ground-zero is Ipanema Beach, where the buff and the bronzed gather under a rainbow flag all days of the week. After applauding the sunset over the “Dois Irmaos” (Two Brothers) mountains, take a stroll up Rua Farme de Amoêdo, a gay-friendly strip where Latin American machismo takes a break over beer and scrumptious seafood. If a late night at one of the city’s chic (and frequently mixed) clubs hasn’t worn you out, spend a morning looking down on the city from Corcovado or Pão de Açucar or check out the city’s colorful arts scene.

Where can you find the most stylin’ bear bar in Latin America? How do you get yourself into Carnaval’s famous samba parade? Where’s the best neighborhood to stay outside Ipanema? Where can you buy a Carioca-style swimsuit? Why is the Carmen Miranda Museum a must-see? The Bump! Rio de Janeiro Travel Guide has all the LGBT answers.
