HYDRATION
HYDRATION
Due to the intense heat of Rio de Janeiro, it is recommended to drink plenty of water. But be note : the tap waters in Rio are not potable. Always prefer filtered water of safe origin, such as bottles of mineral water purchased in the trade, or those offered by bars and restaurants (it is the consumer’s right to request the “water of the house”). Avoid buying water bottles from street vendors if they are damaged or unsealed.
