Been there done that. Be careful. Buy some Brazilian clothes first thing.
Never carry a towel to the beach. Criminals will know you're a gringo. Don't over-train like I did because Its super hot there and the humidity will kill you. Whatever happens avoid getting injured and tap quick. Some brazilians are sick of Gringoes and will crank the hell out of subs even after you tap. Choose your training partners carefully.
Get used to training in a sweaty, smelly gi because laundry is expensive and most people do not have dryers. It takes almost 24 hours to hang dry a gi sometimes so make sure you have 4 or 5 tops.
Have fun! I had the best time ever!
If you're in Rio and you want directions to a really cheap/safe/discrete whore house in the Uruguaiana PM me.
