Has anyone been to Brazil recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Avoid Recife? Or is it fine?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
