Just in Rio for Carnival? Heading there for business? Rio has always been happening, but now there’s more Wi-Fi for iPass users to keep you connected.

Here are a few Wi-Fi hotspots:
Hotel Marina Palace
A beautiful hotel with the added bonus of a roof top pool opposite the beach.

Cafe do Bom Cachaça da Boa
A bistro and bar, within stone wall and high ceilings with food, coffee, craft beers, and over 100 labels of cachaças. During happy hour, the café offers “tarecos”: toast made ​​with cheese bread with Parmesan cheese on top; an invention of the owner and barista, Yansel Galindo.

Piano Bar Santo Graal in the Hotel Merlin Copacabana

Sofitel Rio De Janeiro
The hotel is located in Copacabana, one of the most charming neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro and beside Ipanema, a neighborhood with countless attractions and the historic home of Bossa Nova.
