Finally I am back to my blog stories after such a long time with intense work, I simply did not stop with so many things to do. I must thank all of you to understand that such a wonderful work that I am honor to have, makes me absolutely busy. I am simply everywhere, I hardly have time to come home and sit in front of my computer and give to my guests all the attention they deserve.


BUT I AM ONLY ONE PERSON and I do not want anyone to write my answers for me because my answers are unique for each person who writes me, and I like to keep this direct communication…Because you who write to me are the reason to make my work so special and unique, you are the big source of my inspiration and a very precious chance to make Brazil a better country.


Thanks to you I can tell to the World the best secrets of every little corner of Brazil, and thanks to my guests I can keep the tradition to keep a status of “informal capital" to this so dear and popular city called RIO DE JANEIRO.


Well, I am still with no time, but you should know where I am and what I am doing…So the blog continues and very soon I WILL HAVE A WEBPAGE!!!


IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MY GUEST’S ADVENTURE…THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE…


IF YOU WISH TO HAVE SOME “BACK STAGE” NEWS ABOUT MY TOURS…KEEP ON READING RAFA’S BLOG…


IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE BEST IMAGES OF RIO YOU CAN COME TO US AND IMAGINE THE PLACES WHERE YOU WILL CERTAINLY HAVE LOTS OF FUN!!!


Now I am much more prepared to welcome every one who write to me…if by chance I will be busy, I have wonderful guides who can make Rio your INFORMAL HOME. I can count with the fantastic help of wonderful and knowledgeable tour guides (all officially registered as well), Marcone, Cedric, Diana and Manu, and I am always looking for the best professionals. So you will increase your number of Brazilian Friends, because me and my Guides are more than tour guides, we are really interested to be YOUR REAL FRIENDS in Rio de Janeiro.
