[QUOTE=hardiwv]Just to point out that Farme de Amoedo is a street of gay bars so may not be to everyone's taste.

"Thanks for being so explicit, and I'm sure bquinif already knew this information. Farme do Amoedo street gets packed during carnaval and you can have a good time there. It would be my recommendation."



Actually I didn't...it's close enough to the favela entrance that I generally don't wander over that way too much, esp. at night.
