Huge park in São Paulo. You can rent bikes, play basketball in Nike Basketball Courts, play beachvolley, soccer, run or simply enjoy the beautiful trees, flowers, lake. 
You can also find things to eat and drink
Specialy good to enjoy the sunset

This is the Football club Palmeiras stadium. It is in a safe area. Even if you don't like football, you should go and see a game just to feel the intense vibe !
Allianz Parque

This is the biggest avenue in São Paulo. it is like the Times Square from Brasil. On Sunday from 9am to 4pm, the road is closed so you can walk on the avenue. There are a lot of small shops, dance event, music, people doing sports. It is really cool.

Ipanema is for me the best beach in the touristic area of Rio de Janeiro. Good to see the sunset and drink a caipirinha

Beautiful hike. It is ~1h to get to the top of the mount but the view is really worth it

To go there you need to :
1) take an uber to Vidigal favela (very safe)
2) Once you there, you can take a mototaxi (~10R$) and he takes you to the start of the Hike

The Arpoador is a place located exactly between Copacabana Beach and Ipanema Beach. 
This place is very good to watch the sunset while drinking a beer or whatever. This is a tradition to go this big rock watch the sunset and then applause the sunset for his good job of the day

Saara is a area with a lot of little shops, boutiques, to buy whatever you want. From football shirt to fancy dresses.

!!! Be carefull with your phone or jewlery. I advise you to not use your phone too much in public and be a little aware of what's happening around you.
Saara - Market

Salvador

If you look for more chill place with good food, Salvador is a good spot

This bar / restaurant is a must go in Salvador. They serve a really good “Moqueca” which is a traditional Brasilian dish. 
This place is located in the Gamboa favela (it is really small and you can go there, no problem, it is safe). You can go there enjoy a refreshing drink with good foode, enjoy the sunset and also have a swim !
Bar da Monica

Pelourinho is the old Salvador city (I let you look for more informations if needed.) 
This is where one videoclip of Michael Jackson was set.
There, you will find differents “museum” named “casa”. Bahiana food, carnaval, music, art. 
You can get there with an elevator named “elevador Lacerda”

This is an island situated at 2h by boat from Salvador. To get there, just book a ticket for a boat leaving from Salvador Marina. 

This island is one of the most beautiful place i've ever been in my life. It is better than in the photos… trust me !

You can spend one day there, but I would tell you to spend at least 3 days to enjoy different beaches, food and nights !
Morro de São Paulo
