Most Flights from Chicago to Rio, BR stop Miami, FL. We took AA in this trip.
12/22/2018: arrive Miami airport at 10 AM. If you have couple hours in MIA for transfer, you may want to rent a car to visit Everglades National Park or Botanical garden. If you prefer to shot birds, we can try Wakodahatchee Wetlands. We went to safari Adventure to see animals.
12/23/2018: arrive Rio De Janeiro International Airport, GIG. Then transfeered to Iguassu Falls (IGU).
12/24/2018: took Uber to Iguassu Falls. Iguassu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of the Argentine province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paraná. Together, they make up the largest waterfall system in the world. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. The Iguazu River rises near the heart of the city of Curitiba. For most of its course, the river flows through Brazil; however, most of the falls are on the Argentine side. Below its confluence with the San Antonio River, the Iguazu River forms the boundary between Argentina and Brazil.
It costs around R$15 from the city. Then purchase inside bus ticket around R$15 or boarding for R$79.
If you perfer, you can take helicopter. My advice is do one, boarding or helicopter.
If you have time, you may visit zoo. You can see many animals there.
12/25/2018: Visit Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam. The Itaipu Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Paraná River located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay. The construction of the dam was first contested by Argentina, but the negotiations and resolution of the dispute ended up setting the basis for Argentine–Brazilian integration later on. It produced the most energy of any in the world as of 2016, setting a new world record of 103,098,366 megawatt hours (MWh), and surpassed the Three Gorges Dam plant in energy production in 2015 and 2016

All about Brazil
Language: Portuguese is office language. Not many Brazilians speak English, particularly outside Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paul. Many museum, transportation services don’t provide Engildh or any other languages.
Currency: in December, 2018, $1=R$3.9. most store and companies accept credid card. It is recommended to use credit card if your credit card company doesn’t charge the fee. If they give you options to pay by R$ or us$, choose paying $ since the US$ rate is higher.
Transportation: the transportation is ok, but it isn’t convenience for travelers and foreignes. It is recommended to take Uber. It is cheaper and faster. However, Uber’s price may change depending on the time. From the Copacabana beach to airport charges R$23 normally. When we left on new year day, it charges R$80.
