Photo quests in Rio de Janeiro

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Rio de Janeiro holds four quests, one in each of Beach, Food, History and Party.

None of them is tier 1 — the tier the catalogue reserves for finds nobody would already have on a list — so every check-in in Rio de Janeiro is open on any plan. Tier 3 covers one of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

A beach quest is coast worth the trip in its own right rather than the nearest sand to a hotel. A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. A stretch of coast has no address to arrive at, so the quest is a point on the map and the photo has to be taken within 200 m of it.

Rio de Janeiro is a short list for now — four quests against the three a city needs to have a page here at all. It grows when the pipeline publishes into Rio de Janeiro again, and nothing about this page has to change for that to happen.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Rio de Janeiro quests among them.

Questions

About quests in Rio de Janeiro

How many photo quests are there in Rio de Janeiro?
4, across four of the seven categories the catalogue uses. Nothing in Nature, Art and Sport here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Christ the Redeemer, Feijoada and Copacabana.
Can you do all the Rio de Janeiro quests on one trip?
Not as one walk. The outermost of the 4 is 38 km from the middle of the Rio de Janeiro list, which makes this a region rather than a neighbourhood: several are a day out in their own right and are worth planning as such rather than fitted in.
Which Rio de Janeiro quests can you do for free?
All 4. The PRO gate covers checking in to the hardest tier of quests, and Rio de Janeiro holds none of that tier, so every quest here can be read, travelled to and checked in on the free plan. Checking in anywhere needs an account, because a verified visit has to belong to somebody, but an account costs nothing.
How do I prove I visited a place in Rio de Janeiro?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Rio de Janeiro is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Christ the Redeemer fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Rio de Janeiro sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
