A heart that beats for the youth The World Youth Day Rio2013 logo visually communicates the spirituality and identity of World Youth Day Rio2013. It refers to the Lord of WYD - Christ the Redeemer, to His followers, and to Brazil, the host of this celebration of our faith. Inspired by the theme “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19), the logo points us to Jesus and to his followers. Christ, who gives the order “Go,” is featured in the center, thus showing how the life of the Christian should be rooted in God. The arms, which extend beyond the limits of the heart, represent God´s welcoming embrace of all people, which unites them as one Church. The upper section was inspired by Pão de Açucar (Sugarloaf ), the universal symbol of Rio de Janeiro, the host city of this WYD. The cross on the mountain references to the original name given to Brazil, “Terra de Santa Cruz” (Land of the Holy Cross), as well as one of the symbols of World Youth Day, the Pilgrim Cross. The blue color in the lower part of the symbol represents the Brazilian coast, the ocean which unites distant continents. Together, these symbols form a heart – the hearts of all who have Jesus in their hearts. The colors (green, blue, and yellow), are the same as those of the Brazilian flag. The “WYD Rio2013” logo has a light, young, and modern style. It was created by the Brazilian designer Gustavo Huguenin. 6

A Welcome Message from the Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, Orani João Tempesta
All of you, young people, are in the world, but you are not of the world. You hearts point to heaven. The fact that you feel touched by God, and invited to a life of greater self-giving in love means that you are commissioned as well to take this experience to others. This is the call of WYD Rio 2013, that all those who are here in the “Marvellous City” from the 23rd to the 28th of July, as the 28:19) The Christ the Redeemer statue, symbol of the city, has one single extra detail engraved into the statue: the heart. The architect wanted to reveal a great secret in the following way: the builder put his and his family´s names in the center of Christ´s heart. It is exactly this goal that we want to achieve during World Youth Day: to all be inside the heart of Christ, who invites us to be a sign of His universal love to the world and to be proclaimers of this good news, to be His Heart and His arms as we open our mouth to announce and proclaim this message. That is what Pope Benedict XVI reminds us of in his message for WYD: “Finally, dear young people, I would ask all of you to hear, in the depths of your heart, Jesus’ call to proclaim His Gospel. As the great statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro shows, his heart is open with love for each and every person, and His arms are open wide to reach out to everyone. Be the heart and arms of Jesus! Go forth and bear witness to His love! Be a new generation of missionaries, impelled by love and openness to all!” The whole Church intercedes for you, young people, so that you can live in love the mission to make disciples. With a special blessing for you and yours,
D. Orani João Tempesta, O. Cist. Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro

gathering may be a sign of faith to the whole world.
Welcome Dear Pilgrim! Like Christ the Redeemer with His open arms at the top of Corcovado, the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro welcomes you to World Youth Day Rio2013. Since the announcement of Rio as the host of WYD, we have been working fervently so that the days of this encounter will be unforgettable and remarkable. During this period of preparation, the city has already been able to experience a taste of what WYD will be like. Every month, volunteers from different Brazilian dioceses, especially from the State of Rio de Janeiro and for WYD. We have been anxiously awaiting your arrival. Live this experience with all the intensity that it requires and let Christ to leave a mark on you and go and communicate His joy in your home city. Enjoy and have a great WYD Rio2013!
What is WYD? World Youth Day is a gathering of young people with the Pope. It is a meeting to build and strengthen the bonds of faith, friendship, and hope, symbolizing the union between peoples of different cultures. It all started with an encounter promoted by Pope John Paul II in 1984. The International Meeting of Youth, during the Holy Year of Redemption, took place in Saint Peter´s Square at the Vatican. It was there that the Pope gave the youth the cross which would become one of the symbols of WYD, known as the Pilgrim Cross, or the WYD Cross.
Theme “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). The theme of WYD Rio2013 brings together youth from Brazil and the whole world to take up the call to the mission, and to be witnesses of the Risen Christ. Taken from the last part of the Gospel of Matthew, the context of the motto is the Resurrection of Christ. The disciples, who until then, were frightened and had locked themselves inside for fear of the Jews, encounter Christ, the victor over death. This encounter with the Risen Christ encourages all to live out this mandate. Mary Magdalene sees the empty tomb and gives witness to Christ! Peter and 11

John believe and testify when they see the cloth and the strips of linen! The disciples of Emmaus recognize Christ in the sharing of bread and testify that Christ lives! It is in this context that Christ gives the mandate: Go! Go because He is alive and He walks in front of His friends. Go because Christ is victorious and remains with each member of the Church. Go and announce the resurrection! This is what the motto of WYD Rio2013 seeks to inspire in the heart of every young pilgrim. It motivates each participant to let the light of the Risen Christ dispel the darkness of fear and doubt that paralyzes our walk of faith. It encourages young people to be missionaries, even in situations of conflict, in countries where Christians are persecuted, amid a secularized world that does not want to live Christian values. So, this is the mandate of the Church to Catholic youth. Go, young missionaries who trust in the Church’s Magisterium and support your faith through liturgy and life in communion with others! Go and evangelize with your personal gifts! Go and strengthen your faith with answers and explanations about the issues that distress the world today! Go and witness the joy of the encounter with the Risen Christ at WYD Rio2013! 12

The WYD of Two Popes Designed and loved by Benedict XVI and lived by Francis, WYD Rio2013 is considered a journey of two different Popes. This is the second time this has happened since WYD meetings began. The first time was in 2005 at World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany. However, at WYD in Rio, this becomes even stronger because we have a new Pope, Pope Francis, who is exercising the Petrine ministry, while the Pope Emeritus Benedict continues to pray for the Church. The theme, “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19) was announced by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. Thus, the Pope Emeritus showed the spiritual journey and legacy that he left for Catholic youth. After inviting all young people to keep firm in the faith rooted in Christ at WYD Madrid 2011, he sent them to evangelize and proclaim this experience to the world. As another gift given to the Church, in a great act of courage and humility, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI retired from the active Petrine ministry and today continues to carry the Church through his prayers. In response to his supplications, the Holy Spirit chose a pastor familiar with Brazilian reality, Pope Francis. His humble and simple attitude confirms that it is in this way that God wants to sanctify the Church today. Himself a South American, Pope Francis will make a pilgrimage America. Indeed, the first WYD to take place outside of Rome was in the Pope´s native land of Argentina. These coincidences do not go unnoticed. They demonstrate once again the love and affection Christ has for youth.

With hearts united to God, we praise and give thanks for both Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, examples of virtue and sanctity for this generation of the “Pope´s youth”!
Patrons and Intercessors Among the many saints canonized and recognized by the Church, WYD Rio2013 selected some to be examples to the youth. Their lives show that young people are not alone in the pursuit of holiness. These individuals have walked the path, and, with their lives, showed that despite weaknesses and difficulties, all can answer the call of God: “…Be holy, because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16). We do not want to promote a romantic vision of life as one of God´s friends: the aim is to show each pilgrim that they are not alone. Like these saints, you are invited to find the meaning of your life and your personal difficulties while knowing that true happiness is found in God.

“Go and make disciples of all nations� (Matthew 28:19) St. Rose of Lima
St. Andrew Kim and the Korean Martyrs
The New Evangelization In recent decades, the world has changed considerably. The progress of science, increased life expectancy, the high speed of the circulation of information and the consequent compression of time and space in human man as an individual and has even influenced the way we relate to each other and to God. It is undeniable that these external stimuli led Man to justify his faith more and give him reason to hope. However, many began to question (and some have even lost) fundamental values such as the dignity of all life, natural morals, and faith in God, Creator and Provident Provider. Aware of this situation, the Popes during the last decades of Church history have called attention to the work of evangelization. Our faith and doctrine of the Church has not changed, but the way that they are communicated to reach the heart of Man. This is what Pope John Paul II called the New Evangelization, inviting us to present the gospel with new ardor, new methods and expressions. World Youth Day forms a part of this, as an inspiration of the Holy Spirit for the evangelization of youth. The theme of WYD Rio2013 invites young people to assume the leadership of the New Evangelization. “Go and make disciples of all nations� (Matthew 28:19). Inspired by the Holy Spirit, young missionaries are called to preach and live this, united with the Church’s Magisterium, institutes of consecrated life, religious movements and new communities. Pope Benedict XVI, by instituting the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, reiterates that there is no single formula that can respond to every different scenario. According to him, it takes creativity, careful discernment, docility to the Spirit of the Risen Christ and, above all, a profound experience of God.

Legacies of Solidarity and Evangelization Legacy of evangelization The legacy of evangelization responds to the challenges of the New Evangelization. The main goal of WYD is to reinforce the experience each young person has with the Love of Christ and make each of them firm in their faith. It is through living the common faith, which unites peoples from different cultures, languages, and customs, that WYD seeks to lead the youth to a feeling of belonging in the Church of Christ and motivates everyone to live and pass on this same faith. The legacy of evangelization of WYD Rio2013 also occurs through the interactions of pilgrims during Mission Week when, even if for a brief moment, the participant already experiences the mission of being a protagonist of the New Evangelization. According to experts, when young people feel that they are active participants and, in the name of the Gospel, see themselves as protagonists, these experiences can change them profoundly. Thus, this experience is the root of what will become a legacy for the rest of their lives. The most important legacy, therefore, which WYD is going to leave is the

young person’s indelible experience with the Resurrected Christ which, after
20
this encounter, transforms him into His disciple in order to proclaim Christ to other young people.
Solidarity Fund The Solidarity Fund aims to help young people who do not have the means by the Local Organizing Committee, the fund withdraws a small amount from registration fees in order to help these pilgrims.
Legacy of Social Solidarity The social legacy of WYD Rio2013 takes form through the social projects that are implemented in the host city during the period of preparation for the meeting of youth with the Pope. These projects will remain present after the event, as part of the Church legacy in Rio de Janeiro. Created by the Vicariate for Social Charity of the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro in partnership with other institutions, Passport to Citizenship is one of the projects, which will be left as a legacy in the city. This project consists of a bus equipped with diverse technologies to promote the inclusion of drug addicts in society. This project goes beyond just the bus. It consists of three stages: preventative measures against involvement with drugs and welcoming addicts out of addiction, creation of an exchange network between religious and civil institutions, and the development of a resource center. Another legacy of WYD Rio2013 is the Catholic Voices Project established to provide clear explanations of topics connected to the Catholic Church in the media. The project was created in 2010 in the United Kingdom in order to facilitate communication with the media during coverage of Pope Benedict XVI’s visit. Today, it is present in seven countries: Chile, Ireland, Lithuania, Mexico, Poland, Spain, and the United States of America. In addition to Brazil, Catholic Voices is being established in Argentina, Australia, and Costa Rica. Formed by laity who act as communicators and not officials of the Church, the project seeks to give prominence to Catholic testimony in the media.

Brazil, Land of the Holy Cross and of Our Lady of Aparecida
The history of the discovery of Brazil reveals
Arquivo JMJ Col贸nia 2005
the foundation of the faith of a people.
The origin of Brazil is linked to the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ. On the morning of March 8, 1500, after a ceremony Cabral received from the king the honorific title of “Dom” Manuel the Fortunate, the standard of the Order of Christ. Commanding a fleet of 13 vessels with 1,500 sailors, Cabral set out for India. Within a month and a half of sailing, they noticed the first signs of land. On April 22nd, solid land was sighted, first, a large hill, very high and round, and other lower lands to the south with large groves of trees. The captain named the hill “Monte Pascoal,” and called the land “Vera Cruz.” Brazil was discovered. Today, the location is called Porto Seguro, in the State of Bahia. On April 23rd, the sailors landed, claiming the new land as the property of the Order of Christ. Sometime later, they changed the name to Land of the Holy Cross. In the first days of Portuguese occupation, the new land served as the altar for the celebration of Holy Mass, under the shadow of a large cross planted in its soil. It seems that the Creator wanted to trace, both in heaven and on earth, the sign of the faith. In the National Park of Monte Pascoal, there exists a vine that, viewed from any position, allows one to see the design of the cross of the Order of Christ, depicted on the sails of the explorer´s fleet. Also, from any point of this immense land, it is possible to see the Southern Cross in the sky, a cross made of stars by Our Lord Himself.

Patroness Our Lady of the Conception of Aparecida is the patroness of Brazil. She is represented by a small terracotta statue of the Virgin Mary, presently housed in the Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida in the city of Aparecida in the state of São Paulo. October 12th, her feast day, has been a national holiday in Brazil, ever since Pope John Paul II consecrated the Basilica in 1980. It is the fourth most visited Marian sanctuary in the world, with a capacity of up to 45,000 faithful. The statue was found in 1717 by three fishermen who, after a frustrated attempt to catch fish in the Paraíba do Sul River close to Guaratinguetá (in the state of São Paulo), lifted from their nets the body of a statue of the Virgin Mary and, afterwards, the head of the same statue. This was followed by a very large catch of fish, which surprised the three men. Having cleaned and repaired the statue, she was venerated by the faithful in private homes. There was need for a larger space because of all the pilgrims. In 1955, the construction of the new Basilica began. On June 4, 1980, Pope John Paul II, in his visit to Brazil, consecrated the Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida with a High Mass, giving new strength to this devotion to the Virgin Mary.
A Country of Catholics With 191 million inhabitants, Brazil is the country with the largest Catholic population in the world - 123 million faithful. The census from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics showed that, in 2010, Catholics

Festa do Círio de Nazaré (Festival of the Candlelight Procession of Nazareth) - Belém (State of Pará) This festival celebrates the tradition of an apparition of an image of Our Lady of Nazareth near Igarapé. The candlelight procession is a series of rituals that begins on the second Saturday of October, with a procession during the night. There are 15 days of processions along the journey from Belém, including Masses, novenas, processions and visits to small villages along the river with shelters, open-air markets, amusement parks and fireworks. The climax of the festival is the feast of the Candlelight Procession, with symbolic foods, such as duck in ‘tucupi’ (a seasoning made of pepper and manioc juice), the maniçoba, (a food made out of manioc shoots mixed with meat and/or fish and seasoned with salt and pepper), and tacacá (a dish prepared with tapioca), tucupi (manioc-juice and pepper, garlic, and shrimp). The conclusion takes place on the fourth Sunday of October, in a return procession, called ‘Recírio.’
Father Cícero Romão Batista - Juazeiro do Norte (State of Ceará) Father Cícero Romão Batista, “Padim,” lived in Juazeiro do Norte, in 1872, changing the habits of the local population by catechizing them in the basics of religious practice. In 1889, Father Cícero, upon giving Communion to Blessed Maria Magdalena of the Holy Spirit, was astonished when the Host transformed into blood. The miracle repeated itself many times with other city residents. Even though the priest has not been beatified, devotion to him has spread throughout the country.

Santuário Santa Paulina / Nova Trento
Saint Mother Paulina - Nova Trento (State of Santa Catarina) Founded in 1875 by Italian colonizers, Nova Trento has received large numbers of visitors after the beatification of Mother Paulina in 1991. She was canonized on May 19, 2002, becoming the first Brazilian saint. The city offers two religious sites of interest to the roughly 20 thousand pilgrims and tourists who go there annually. The first is the Vígolo district, where the religious sister began her work providing aid to the sick and to children, and founding the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. The other attraction is the museum, which is located in the building of the congregation where Mother Paulina lived from 1895 onwards, when she entered religious life.
Christ’s Passion - Nova Jerusalém (State of Pernambuco) Every year, in the weeks preceding Easter, the Passion Play at Fazenda Nova takes place in the city of Brejo da Madre de Deus, in the State of Pernambuco. The event is staged at the best open-air theater in the world. The theatrical scenery is a replica of Jerusalem, in which around 500 actors and extras perform scenes, such as Herod’s Palace, Pilate’s Forum, and the scene where Jesus ate the Last Supper with the apostles before being handed over to the Jewish authorities. The performance lasts two hours. 29

The city of Saint Sebastian of Rio de Janeiro was founded in the year 1565 by Estácio de Sá. The city received from the Church the great gift of being dedicated to the young martyr Saint Sebastian, who is also one of the patron saints of WYD Rio2013. After much reorganization of the ecclesiastical hierarchy in Brazil, first the Diocese, and then the Archdiocese of Saint Sebastian of Rio de Janeiro was born. and 25 new communities, working in seven episcopal vicariates and 262 parishes (to date), 781 chapels (to date), a Cathedral, four Lesser Basilicas and seven Sanctuaries, including that of Christ the Redeemer. The administration includes the presence of an Archbishop, an Archbishop Emeritus, seven auxiliary bishops and two auxiliary bishop emeritae, 354 priests, 144 deacons, and 140 religious congregations. Presently, the Archdiocese is divided into 7 territorial and special vicariates, all united under the authority of the Archbishop. The beauty and exuberance of the church in Rio de Janeiro have contributed the historical and cultural legacy of Catholicism in Brazil. With an approximate population of 6.3 million inhabitants, examples of Christian influence in the life of this city are evident. In the territory of the Archdiocese, which is 1,721 square kilometers, there are three hospitals, 89 Catholic schools, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (‘PUC – Rio’), the Superior Institute of Religious Culture, the Mater Ecclesiae school and three seminaries for future priests. The urgency of a New Evangelization in society also leads to us to manifest our belief through communication media like the Testimony of Faith newspaper, Redeemer WebTV, the Archdiocese Official Portal, Our Lady of Peace publishing company and Cathedral Radio, the official broadcaster of WYD.

What happens at WYD? The WYD schedule consists of the WYD Main Events, Special Events, Catecheses, Vocations Fair, Cultural Events and the Youth Festival. These events are part of every World Youth Day. Opportunities for confession will also take place.
Main Events The Main Events are composed of five separate events, which are the heart of the World Youth Day Rio2013. At these five events, all participants of WYD will meet in one place, which will provide for an amazing experience of unity within diversity.
Opening Mass – Copacabana Beach July 23, 2013 The Opening Mass will be celebrated by the Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, Orani João Tempesta. At this celebration, the archbishop will welcome all young people who have come to the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro to attend WYD. This is the only Main Event without the presence of the Holy Father. Papal Welcoming Ceremony – Copacabana Beach July 25, 2013 This second WYD Main Event is the most anticipated event of WYD for many. It is the first meeting between the Pope and the youth. Pilgrims from five continents will welcome the Successor of Peter and present delegations who will attend World Youth Day. Way of the Cross – Copacabana Beach July 26, 2013 The Way of the Cross is a moment of prayer, meditation and reflection on the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Way of the Cross is a time for remembering God’s love for us. “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13).
62
Vigil – Campus Fidei, Guaratiba July 27, 2013 The Vigil will be a great time of praise, worship and testimonies. All young people and the Holy Father, Pope Francis, will be gathered at Campus Fidei in Guaratiba. There, youth from all over the world will stay, praying and reflecting on the mission that will be given on the next day: to go into the world and make disciples of all nations. After the Holy Father leaves, the youth will remain in prayer and worship until midnight. After midnight, the youth can continue to worship the Blessed Sacrament in the various tents, which will be scattered throughout Campus Fidei. Final Mass – Campus Fidei, Guaratiba July 28, 2013 This is the last WYD Main Event. After spending the night at Campus Fidei, the youth participate in the Holy Mass presided by Pope Francis in thanksgiving for WYD Rio2013. In this same Mass, the youth will receive the Sending Blessing, since WYD is a preparation for the great task that begins – being sent on mission to make disciples of all nations. At this time, the Pope will announce the city that will host the next World Youth
Special Events The Special Events are activities included in the schedule of the Holy Father during WYD, and which don´t form part of the Main Events.

Dear pilgrim, the city of Rio de Janeiro and World Youth Day joyfully welcome you. All efforts were made to accommodate the thousands pilgrims and to plan exciting and moving events for WYD Rio2013. To create an unforgettable experience, all preparations have been made to avoid unnecessary worries and distractions. In this guide, though the app and on our website, registered pilgrims can find essential information for making the most of WYD Rio2013. Participation in World Youth Day Rio2013 is free. Any person can participate in the Main Events (Opening Mass, Papal Welcoming Ceremony, Way of the Cross, and Final Mass). However, at the Vigil and Final Mass there will be areas reserved for those who are registered. Registration is highly encouraged due to the enormous logistics required and as a way to collaborate with the funding of such a global event.
Welcome to Rio The pilgrims will be welcomed by volunteers at points of arrival, such as airports, bus stations, accommodation sites and all sites participating in WYD Rio2013. Volunteers will be available to attend to the pilgrims’ needs, to give directions, to answer questions, and to be a “new friend.”
Accommodation Rio de Janeiro has thrown its doors wide open. The accommodation types include places for large groups, as well as private host families. The places of accommodation are divided by linguistic groups.
Large Group Accommodation Accommodation for large groups will be available from Sunday (July 21th) through Monday (July 29th) from 22:00 to 8:00 in the morning. The period for personal hygiene will be from 22:00 until 24:00 and from 84

Host Families Pilgrims are permitted to be in the host family residences from 22:00 until 8:00 in the morning. During the day, you may not return to your host family´s residence. On Sunday, July 28th, the host families will open their houses/apartments from 14:00 to 8:00 AM on July 29th. In case of an emergency or important necessity, the pilgrim must contact the group leader or parish coordinator of his/her accommodation section.
Coordinator There will be a Coordinator for all accommodations, and in case of necessity or doubt, the group leader will contact the Coordinator regarding the appropriate steps to take. The pilgrim who will not return to the family’s house or other accommodation before midnight must inform the house director, group leader or accommodation coordinator.
Accommodations will be available from the 21th to the 29th of July, 2013 and the group leader that has previously informed about the need for his group to continue to stay, should seek the accommodation Coordinator so that the group can arrive at the scene.

People with Disabilities Accessibility and Communication WYD values unity and the inclusion of all pilgrims. Because of this, special attention is given to serve and support persons with disabilities. To guarantee the participation of everyone in WYD Rio2013 events and programs, a plan for logistics and support for these pilgrims has been prepared so that they can fully enjoy the WYD experience. People with disabilities will have special support for accommodations, transport, and meals, in accordance with their necessities, so that they feel secure, enjoy the experience, and most of all feel welcomed and loved by the people of Rio.
Is there special lodging for people with disabilities? Yes, for those in wheelchairs who indicated on their registration that they needed special lodging. These people and their attendants (each user of a wheelchair may be accompanied by an attendant of the same gender) will be lodged in accommodations with beds, bathrooms and ramps suitable for wheelchair users. Attempts will be made to lodge people as close to their native language catechesis locations as possible to facilitate transport. Pilgrims that did not indicate this need will be lodged in regular lodgings with others who speak their native language.
Is there a special identification badge for those with disabilities? with disabilities, the international codes for disabilities will be used on these pilgrims’ badges: • Auditory disabilities (Deaf)
• Physical or mobility disabilities (wheelchair or crutches)

To better prepare them, they have completed a basic training course specifically designed to facilitate their service during WYD. The volunteers will be stationed at support posts near the stages of the Main Events and in special accommodation locations.
What is the situation regarding the participation of persons with disabilities in the Youth Festival? There will be guided tours of museums, tourist sites, and walking trails, as well as interpreters for the Deaf during some of the theatrical presentations. These programs will be indicated by the international symbols for each disability in the Cultural and Liturgical Schedule. The symbols will indicate if there are interpreters for the Deaf, wheelchair accessibility, and information in braille for the blind.
Will there be Confession for the Deaf? Yes. In Brazil there are various priests who serve the Deaf community. The international symbol for the Deaf will identify the locations where this service will be offered. If the priest does not know LIBRAS or the sign language of the pilgrim’s country of origin, the pilgrim can use pen and paper to communicate with the confessor. For reasons of confidentiality we ask that there be no interference by the interpreter during Confession. Besides offering confession in the catechesis locations, priests will offer confession at Quinta da Boa Vista, in the São Cristóvão neighborhood.
Will there be catechesis especially for people with disabilities? There will be a special catechesis location for wheelchair users and blind persons with interpreters for the various languages represented.

Transport will take pilgrims from their lodging to the Main Event location and back. For participation in the Vigil at Campus Fidei, special transport will take wheelchair users to the main gate of the event. If you did not indicate your needs in your registration (and thus are not staying in the special accommodations), you may use public transportation with the help of members of your group and the support of volunteers.
Are there bathrooms available for those with disabilities? Yes. There will be portable toilets placed in strategic locations at the Main Events. Wheelchair users are guaranteed bathrooms specifically for those with handicaps.

Some Brazilian foods may use spices or oils that you are not used to consuming. Please be prudent and watch what you eat. • Do not consume food from unlicensed street vendors, especially those with open carts. • The beaches in Rio de Janeiro are divided into ocean and bay beaches.

You can find information on the conditions at any beach in the local newspapers. If you have any doubts, find a lifeguard station and ask the lifeguards. • Certain conditions can make swimming at the beaches dangerous (for example, when the currents are exceptionally strong.
