Do one or the other. SP is the biggest city in the Southern Hemisphere. Rio is also a big city fractured into diferent areas. And Brazil itself is a big culture shock. To do the two cities in ten days you would need to have a very exact timetable plus back-up plans in case you hit delays which are a constant SP problem and common enough in RJ especially if it rains.
If you are only going to dip your toes, you might want to get someone to buddy you in SP and possibly RJ. Five in each because, even if there's 'more to do' in RJ, it will take you longer to do what you do in SP. A couple of other points as SP and RJ are incredibly different. The tourist spots in RJ are straightforward "sights" Cristovao, Sugar Loaf, Botanics and all you have to do is plan how to get them without wasting lots of time. And of course RJ has a beach 32 beaches to be more exact.
In SP, the distances are bigger, and the best tourist attractions IMO are things like the galleries or the ambience of the different city neighbourhoods eg Madalena, Paulistana, Liberdade. It's only a short trip between the two, but the trip from the airport in SP can take longer than the flight. Your essentials for RJ are Bubba's guide, Sperto's lists, and a map and a plan.
Your essentials for SP are working out how to get to the monger spots of your choice and the tourist spots of your choice get the wrong turning and half a day or more can be wasted. But unless you are very determined to do both, stick to one. Five days is not long enough to get much of a taste. My primary purpose of the trip is visit the tourists spots and get laid. Planning to visit Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
My stay is 10 days is total. How would you guys divide the days? But 10 days is not long enough to explore both cities, IMHO. Consider a room in my apartment. PM me to get details. What's your expectations of Copa do Mundo when it comes to rental? Anybody ever see this kind of behavior in a terma? I hear you but the termas are a thorn in their public image despite many of the government officials, politicians, mid to high level Policias, doctors, judges, municipal clerks and lawyers frequent them-especially 4 x 4!
