About Me

Olá! I’m Karina, a true Carioca!

Welcome to Let’s Rio — your ultimate guide to Rio de Janeiro. Born and raised in Rio, I’m a proud Carioca. My journey has taken me around the world where I’ve tried to find a place as unique as Rio but I realized that nowhere else compares.  Rio is more than just a city: it’s a feeling, a way of life — Rio is a whole vibe.  I’m a seasoned travel professional and a passionate lover of my home city: I created this blog to share my own private Rio with you.
