Lonely Planet Pocket Rio de Janeiro

This latest edition uncovers the city's most popular experiences and unexpected surprises from escaping the crowds with a swim in one of the freshwater waterfalls in Horto; to dancing the night away at Vaca Atolada, a low-ceiling sweatbox samba club in Lapa; and hopping on a ferry to Ilha de Paquetá, an island paradise where motorized vehicles aren't allowed.
