HYROX Rio de Janeiro

In late November, Rio's summer heat is just beginning to build, making the Riocentro's air-conditioned halls a welcome escape after a morning at Ipanema or a hike up Pedra da Gorda. Between sessions, refuel with a traditional feijoada at a nearby boteco or cool off with fresh coconut water from a street vendor, then catch the sunset from Arpoador before the city's festive season kicks into high gear.
