Traditional Sweet Dishes
Brigadeiro
Brigadeiro was named in the 1940s after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, and it became a political fundraiser and later the indispensable chocolate truffle at Brazilian birthday parties.
Quindim
Quindim's glossy, golden surface comes from dozens of egg yolks mixed with coconut, creating a jewel-like custard that traces its roots to Portuguese and African influences.
Pudim de leite
Pudim de leite is a silky caramel flan that is baked slowly in a water bath for hours, and many Brazilian families guard secret recipes passed down through generations.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Feijoada
Feijoada, a hearty black bean stew with many pork cuts, started as a humble dish made by enslaved people using discarded meats, and today it is a festive communal meal often served with rice, collard greens and orange slices.
Coxinha
Coxinha is a crunchy fried snack shaped like a little drumstick and filled with seasoned shredded chicken, and its playful shape helped it become one of Brazil's most beloved street foods.
Pastel
Pastel, a thin fried pastry sold at lively street fairs, shows Chinese influence and is commonly paired with fresh sugarcane juice for a classic Carioca combo.
Traditional Beverages
Caipirinha
Caipirinha began as a rural home remedy for colds and evolved into Brazil's signature cocktail, made by muddling lime and sugar and mixing with cachaça and ice.
Cachaça
Cachaça is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, giving it bright vegetal and fruity notes, and it has been produced in Brazil since the 16th century making it older than many world spirits.
Guaraná
Guaraná soda is flavored with the Amazonian guaraná berry and became a national favorite because of its fruity taste and natural stimulant from high caffeine levels.

Humidity hit hard, some days felt unbearable, but early hikes and shade made the views worth it.
Samba nights are unreal, but weekends are packed and lines are long. Felt safe in groups, solo felt watched at times.
Christ the Redeemer gives a wild view, but go before 9am to avoid buses and long queues, expect crowds anyway.
Kind of disappointed by the beach kiosks, overpriced and pushy sellers. City has charm but budget more than I planned.
Buy a RioCard at any metro station, top it up at kiosks. Tap for buses too, single cash fares add up fast.
