Been there, done that, Rio is also one of the most polluted cities in the world. When taking a flight out of Rio one morning, i watched the city disappear under a cloud of car fumes. Prefer Buenos Aires, Argentina The Tango, great beef, Iguazu Falls, Gauchos. Now THAT'S where a South American TTR should be!!!!
Flights there are super expensive which breaks a lot of the appeal. Everything I just looked at (October time) was minimum of 1300 each ticket and 18 hours of travel time. 1600/each gets it to 14 hours travel. Cancun is $330/rt each and a whole heck of a lot faster. They should really open another in cabo to replace the changed one to desire. Or even one in Hawaii would be cool. Or Costa Rica.
I think expanding the theme is the idea. Our European friends all spend 11-12 hours on flights to come to Temptation Cancun. I am sure there would be interest in a new locale....
Already on it and the Rio Boobs Cruise too... looking for volunteer employees and investors...anyone interested
