if you are white don't go out after about 8-9 pm.
stay close to your major hotels and try to walk with groups of people.
DO NOT WALK alone after dark.
DO NOT wear visible jewely, carry a camera, or cellphone.
the favella kids coming down the hill prey on tourists big-time. small bands of 12-16 years will have no trouble robbing you at knifepoint, and a few are dangerous.
Rio is VERY dangerous after dark.
