I went to Rio's Carnival in 2000 and briefly visited Buenos Ires. I wanted to go to Iguassu Fall but the time has run out and did not make it. (Iguasse Fall, I want to go one day.)
I loved Rio as there were amazing scenic places to see.
But as Nicole mentioned, the security may be a problem.
One night my husband and I came back to a hotel near the Copacabana Beach carrying a camcorder. The hotel manager straight away told me not to walk streets carrying camcorder/camera as we could had been a muggers' target.
Then this was more than thirteen years ago, I have no idea the current situation.
You are only young once, Ben. Try anywere if you have an opportunity.
