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 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Brazil — overrated or just right?

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?
