Why store your bags in Rio de Janeiro?
The travel-day gap between hotel checkout (usually 11:00) and your next arrival (evening flight, night train, red-eye) is where days get wasted. Dropping bags for €5-8 turns a wasted afternoon into another half-day of Rio de Janeiro. Same for layovers: 6-hour connections become city visits instead of terminal boredom.
