Rio is an amazing city, I wouldn't spend much time in Sao Paulo, a big financial center, nothing we found very interesting. Coastal regions are super nice (Ilhabela, Paraty, Ubatuba)

Yeah get the visa early. My first try at a Brazillian tourist visa was declined. I worked in oil and gas at that time and they thought I was coming to work or something. I was able to sort it out by doing a phone interview with a consular officer and sending documentation that my wife was coming (she has an Irish passport and didn't need a visa) and we were also going to Argentina and Iguazu falls) but it was stressful and took a long time.
