Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

This matches my experience. Brazil is great value for money.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.
