mxpkf8 • 6 yr. ago. I've read and been advised that Rio is becoming increasingly dangerous, with people being mugged on the trail to Cristo Redentor, as well as tourists being targeted on tourist buses. Yes, Rio de Janeiro city is dangerous and the violence is out of control. Even Brazilians avoid that city.
If you want to cool off in the water, and you're in a group, have someone stay and watch your belongings. Otherwise, you can ask someone nearby to keep an eye on them, the Cariocas (Rio's residents) hate crime as much as you, and will be happy to help. The beaches are best avoided at night, as wandering travelers a target for robberies.
