Learn how cariocas are!

Are you coming to Brazil or to be more specific to Rio de Janeiro? Or are you just curious about how cariocas are? See this guide and learning how things work in Rio.

My fiancé just gave me this guide for tourists in Rio de Janeiro. The guide explains cariocas, the native people from the city of Rio de Janeiro. This nickname was given by the Tupi Guarani indians, to the first white man who came to live in Rio de Janeiro. CARI means white man and OCA means home.

The book has a funny way to explain the carioca mentality going through subjects such as slangs from the city, the carnival, dressing, even body language and much more!It is a must have if you are coming to this city! I would also recommend it for those who are coming to any other city in Brazil as many of the things said in the book are done for brazilians living in the other part of the country.
