How about violent crimes. Is it more likely to get pickpoketed (non-violent crime) or robbed (a crime with a violent threat - give me all your belongings!)?
Consider i speak Spanish (and my girlfriend is Spanish), so we would likely look less touristy than the typical "gringo". She can speak kinda portugaňol, I do understand a bit of portuguese, but can only speak Spanish.
I think it is more likely that robberies happen, but I don't know for sure. I would have to research the information in this regard to be more certain. I believe that violent crimes happen closer to the favelas.
Good to know :) Thanks again!
Any questions you may have, I'm here for you.
Thanks :)
