@sophietoday: The answer is yes and no with a lean towards no …. If you drink some or use it to brush your teeth you’ll be fine. It is technically drinking standard in most of the city. However, everywhere you’ll stay will have a water filter and MOST people here drink either filtered or bottled water. Although it is ‘safe’ it might still upset your stomach because it has bacteria and minerals that your system isn’t used to so if you have a sensitive stomach, stick to bottled. #brasil #riodejaneiro #brazil #rio #traveladvice
