Women-only company in Rio de Janeiro
Women only. Every member is a woman, verified by ID and a live video.
Travelling alone? Find a verified local woman to explore Rio de Janeiro with.
Rio is mountains dropping into the sea, long beaches and music everywhere, and it's a city best seen with someone who knows it. A local woman beside you knows which beach, which neighbourhood and which time of day. SheJoins helps you find a verified woman to explore with, and every plan is platonic and in a public place.
Ideas for your first plan
Famous public places in Rio de Janeiro to start with. They're ideas, not partner venues: in the app, every plan uses a public venue from our approved list.
Concerts and events
- Theatro Municipal. Rio's grand opera house in Cinelândia, for opera, ballet and concerts.
- Cidade das Artes. A modern concert hall in Barra da Tijuca, home to the city's symphony orchestra.
- Maracanã. The famous stadium, for a football match or a big concert, best with someone who knows the songs.
Coffee and meals
- Confeitaria Colombo. A belle époque café downtown, all mirrors and stained glass, for coffee and pastries.
- Santa Teresa. A hilltop neighbourhood of old houses, artists' studios and places to eat with a view.
Movies and shopping
- Feira Hippie de Ipanema. The Sunday craft market on Praça General Osório, for art, leather and jewellery.
- Rua do Lavradio. Antique shops and a monthly street fair in the old centre, near Lapa.
Walks and city days
- Sugarloaf Mountain. Two cable cars up to the view over Guanabara Bay. Go together for sunset.
- Christ the Redeemer. The statue on Corcovado, reached by a little train through the forest.
- Copacabana and Ipanema promenades. The famous wave-pattern pavements along the beaches, made for walking and people-watching.
- Jardim Botânico. Royal palms, orchids and quiet paths below Corcovado.
- Museum of Tomorrow. A striking science museum on the waterfront at Praça Mauá.
A good first plan in Rio de Janeiro
A good first plan is short and easy to leave: a walk along the Ipanema promenade in the morning, or coffee at Confeitaria Colombo. If it goes well, plan Sugarloaf or the Botanical Garden next time. Use the metro or an app taxi rather than walking between neighbourhoods, meet somewhere busy and well known, and agree on an exact meeting point.

In Rio, carry only what you need, keep your phone out of sight on the street, and use app taxis at night. Plan your way back before you set off, and share your plan with your trusted contact. During a booking, SOS alerts our safety team and your trusted contact.
