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 last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
