23 hours give or take 2 hours total travel time if you're going to go via MLA-AMSTERDAM-SAO PAULO.

I took KLM before and they provided me with a voucher to stay at the airport hotel in Amsterdam Schipol Airport because I had a 16 hour wait between flights.

 

This is still the fastest and best compared to going via the US as they require you to have a visa even if you're only passing through and not even going out of immigration. It is also a longer route.

 

Transit via France (if you take Air France) is also similar to transitting in Amsterdam.

 

I've been to Rio 5 times in 7 months, staying around 4-5 days at a time. I love it there! I walk around and move around and I feel relatively safe having my DSLR dangling beside me. Maybe because I'm tall and I look fit hence they didn't bother me - but the kids thought I was Japanese and started talking to me in (the little) Japanese that they know.

 

It does help to know Portuguese as most people and taxi drivers do not speak English. My Sao Paulo portuguese was immediately noticed by the Cariocas (Rio-born people) when I strike up a conversation with them (yeah, I try!) Sadly, I haven't used portuguese for a long time so I am very rusty with it.

Have you ever eaten at a Por Cao restaurant? They serve the best beef there. The last time we visited Rio, we went up Corcovado and Sugar Loaf. The view at Sugar Loaf is simply magnificent.

Was in Corcovado Brazil in the late 90's. felt like I was on top of the World or up in heaven when I was at the foot of the Great Redeemer. Rode the cable car to Sugar Loaf Mountain or Pao de Azucar and the view was spectacular. Strolled on Ipanema beach and watched scantilly clad girls and real hot men in skimpy trunks. These gorgeous men were better than the beach and view.

I don't think I've tried it unless it's the one in (or near) Niteroi.

 

And yes! The view from Corcovado and Sugar Loaf are to die for. If I have enough moolah, I will be retiring in Rio.
