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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

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

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
