The Rio Code
Concierge & Travel Support Services
Mission
"Share the beauty of the Rio de Janeiro that we know"
History
The Rio Code team has been operating informally for more than fifteen years. Friends and friends-of-friends have had the good fortune to come to Brazil and receive the local experience since the turn of the century. Only when one arrives for the first time, does he/she begin to understand the importance of a familiar face as a guide through the Brazilian landscape.
We have since organized and formalized into a team of experts on Rio de Janeiro. We have corporate offices in Rio de Janeiro as well as Los Angeles, CA to provide true international service and support. We offer a range of products, services, and information in support of the Rio de Janeiro traveler or enthusiast.

Commitment to the Community
Brazil is a beautiful place. There are no earthquakes, twisters, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. Beyond some flooding, Brazil has no real natural disasters. The disasters are economic - unnatural. The poverty is significant.
We focus our efforts in Rocinha, the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro. Tens of thousands of children living here have the curiosity and energy to be successful. They just need the encouragement and tools to succeed. We are doing our part through education in English and computers. A portion of our proceeds goes toward this initiative.
We can also help you help the community. In addition to a Rocinha tour, we can arrange for you to share and practice English with the students during your trip. We invite you to donate your time, presence, used ipads, and of course finances. We look forward to providing your best experience here in Rio de Janeiro. See you soon!
