Duck Tours Rio de Janeiro
2ª Parte. Um ônibus que navega!
REPLAY: A duck's eye view of Rio
Sugarloaf mountain with its cable car is one of Rio's main tourist attractions.
And this is also the starting point for a novel tour: Brazil's first amphibian bus.... a bus that think's its a boat!
Named Duck Copacabana, the vehicle carries 28 passengers for a ride along the Botafogo and Flamengo coastal avenues until reaching the Gloria marina where it enters the waters of Guanabara Bay.
After passing by Botafogo and Flamengo beaches the vehicle gets to the Gloria Marina where the bus driver is replaced by an authorised marine pilot.
All passengers are encouraged to use life vests which are mandatory for children and those over sixty years old.
When the bus enters the water, the main diesel engine is turned off and the vehicle is controlled by a directional hydraulic propeller which is controlled using a joystick. The vehicle remains in the water for forty minutes.
Tour guide Luciana Morosini specialises in Rio de Janeiro's history and tells tales of the French invasion of Guanabara Bay in the 1500's.
It's a technology that's old for some but is very new to us because this is the first amphibian bus in Brazil. So it's an honour and a great pleasure to work here, because we work while having fun, she says.
The vehicle was built by a team of three engineers who first saw similar tours in Boston, London and other cities, where World War II recycled military vehicles are used.
At first the partners wanted to import one of these code-named DUKW vehicles but the legal requirements for rare machines were enormous.
So they decided to build one from scratch, using the chassis of a 1972 Mecedes Benz 1113, a common Brazilian truck.
The enterprise took three years and the tour was finally inaugurated in earlier this year.
According to the owners half of this time was used to meeting the requirements of both the Brazilian Navy and the local Motor Vehicle Department, as specific legislation did not exist.
Paulo Valladares, a 33 year old engineer who works with the construction of oil rigs in Brazil and abroad says it was a trial and error job until the vehicle was ready. This axle here is pressurized, so when entering the water we turn on the pressure on both axles to prevent water from entering, says Paulo while showing the newly installed front gears. A horrific accident in Guanabara Bay drowned 55 tourists in Rio in 1988. So extra care was taken in this boat.
A cruise boat that sank in the bay on New Year's Eve in 1988, killing 55 people.
But Valladares is confident in his vessel's safety.
This boat here practically cannot sink because it was built with four compartments. If one should have a hole, it still won't sink
All four compartments are filled with blocks of naval styrofoam rather than air thus filling all the space so water can not enter.
The three partners of the Rio Duck Tours company are already working on two new amphibian vehicles, a car and a second bus.
They hope to lease these vehicles in other tourist spots around Brazil.
This is a different view of the city to which only the very rich had access until now.
On weekends many different kinds of boats can be seen from this viewpoint, and both Sugarloaf and Corcovado mountains, Rio's landmarks, are in the background.
Tourists certainly seem to enjoy the experience.
Very nice, I loved it, the tourist part, the structure and a different point of view of the city, it is very good says Venezuelan student Gabrela Garcia.
The tour operates four times a day except Mondays and costs R$100 (U$45) per person.
The City of Rio de Janeiro is Brazil's most popular tourist destination. Rio will host seven games during the World Cup, including the finals at Maracana stadium.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - First time eating Brazilian steakhouse bbq churrascaria! #Brazil #RioDeJaneiro #BrazilianSteakhouse
One of the most famous Brazilian foods around the world, is a Brazilian steakhouse bbq, and you’ll find Brazilian steakhouses all over the world. But to be honest I had never been to any outside of Brazil - and there was no better place to have my first Brazilian meat churrascaria experience than in Brazil.
Churrascaria Palace (Map: - We chose to go to Churrascaria Palace, a meat restaurant located in Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro. As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I could smell the aroma of the roasting meats, and it was a great upscale, yet laid back atmosphere, with live music.
Chef Silva took care of us from the moment we stepped in and first showed us the kitchen where the meats were being roasted. It’s very interesting to learn about the different cuts of meat that they use in Brazil, which are unique to Brazil. One of the unique and beloved types of meat is cupim, which comes from the beef hump from Zebu cattle.
Once Chef Silva started bringing us meats, he did not joke around - the Brazilian steakhouse bbq meats started flowing non stop. A Brazilian steakhouse bbq is typically served Rodízio, meaning it’s all you can eat, but the meat is not served buffet style, but rather it’s served to you at your plate. They slice it in front of you, and then you use your tongs to grab the meat as its sliced in front of you.
Chef Silva served us 14 types of meat, including some Amazon river fish. He told us he only served us the premium cuts, and there were many other less premium cuts that we were too full to even try.
Brazilian food is often heavy on the meat, and there’s no better way to experience Brazilian meat than with a churrascaria!

Rio de Janeiro: Beauties of Carnivals, Beaches, Wonderful People All In Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro: Beauties of Carnivals, Beaches, Wonderful People All In Rio de Janeiro
Beauties of Rio de Janeiro is a quicky of world famos beach, carneval, and attractions, enjoy.
From the world-famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema to the tops of scenic outlooks of Corcovado and Pão de Açúcar to the dance halls, bars and open-air cafes that proliferate the city, cariocas live for the moment without a care in the world.
Rio is the capital city of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the second largest city of Brazil, and the third largest metropolitan area and agglomeration in South America, boasting approximately 6.3 million people making it the 6th largest in the Americas, and 26th in the world.
The early morning in Rio de Janeiro brings quiet, misty coastlines and pink-purple sunrises. The Brazilian locals are up and about soon enough, piling onto the beautiful beaches and expressing themselves through artwork, dance, and the ubiquitous Rio de Janeiro partying.
A Rio de Janeiro tour must stop at Christ the Redeemer, the ubiquitous statue that watches over the city from above the Tijuca National Forest. Take the cable car to the lookout point on Sugarloaf Mountain, the city’s iconic peak, and try not to look down – it’s a long way to drop!
After a morning spent on the beach, your Rio de Janeiro journey should continue in the city proper. Join the sun worshippers at Copacabana, where you can stake out a patch of beach or float out to sea with the paddle boarders. Shop for souvenirs in famous Ipanema, or take part in the street dances you will love it, festivals, and parades that may spontaneously break out. Parades of Rio are the most famous attraction for the tourist as they are so glamorous and joyful to watch.

One of the most amazing things about Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is the unbelievable natural beauty of the city - there are stunning jungles and beaches right within the city. Today we went on a short hike to the famous Telegraph rock, and then ate an incredible Brazilian seafood meal. #Brazil #RiodeJaneiro #food
Oysters - It was about an hour drive from the center of Rio, and we arrived to the oyster man - a little stall where a man has been selling oysters since Guilherme was a child. His oysters were small, but they were flavorful, with just a squeeze of lime. Perfect way to begin this Brazilian food day. Price - 12 for 10 BRL ($2.50)
Pedra Do Telégrafo - We then drove to a small beach town and climbed up the hill to a point known as Pedra Do Telégrafo, or Telegraph rock. It’s most famou now because of social media, and people take a photo in a way that it looks like they are dangling from a rock cliff. The views are spectacular and well worth climbing when you’re in Rio.
Gugut Restaurante - Located in Vargem Grande neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, we met up with Marcelo to eat a massive Brazilian seafood meal, especially dishes from the Espirito Santo state of Brazil.
Moqueca - There are two versions of this amazing dish, a fish stew, one from Espirito Santo and the other from Bahia (stay tuned for Bahia coming soon). He added in tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, followed by fish. It was simple but delicious, relying on the fresh fish to really made it special. Gugut Restaurant is not cheap, but they serve top notch seafood, great quality, and very fresh. All the food was delicious. Total price - 400 BRL ($100.32)
And that completes this Brazilian seafood and hike in Rio de Janeiro, another wonderful day in Brazil.

Boat ride along Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro
This is a must take tour if you go to Rio. Brazilian Navy offers a very interesting boat ride along Guanabara Bay leaving from the Navy Cultural Center in Rio dowtown from Thursdays to Sundays. The boat normally used on this tour is an ancient towboat from 1910 named Laurindo Pitta, but unfortunally on the day I took it this boat was under maintenance and was replaced by another one named Rei Tomás. Despite the equipment change, the ride was very pleasant and enjoyable. I fully recomend it! - 11/03/2017
