Extra Information

Language: The primary language spoken in Brazil is Portuguese. English is not commonly spoken outside the tourism sector, so it's advisable to learn some basic Portuguese phrases before your trip.

Currency: Brazil's official currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL).

ATMs & Credit Cards: Credit cards are widely accepted in Brazil, especially in large cities and tourist areas. However, in some smaller towns and remote areas, cash may be preferred. ATMs are commonly found in cities, but can be less frequent in rural areas. Many ATMs are available 24/7, but it's a good idea to plan your cash needs ahead of time.

Plugs: Brazil uses type N power plugs, and some areas also use type C and type A. The standard voltage is 1110V or 220V depending on the region, with a frequency of 60Hz. Bringing a universal adapter is recommended if you’re traveling with devices from other countries.

Safety: Brazil is generally safe for tourists, but it’s important to be cautious. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded areas, and there are scams targeting tourists. It is wise to be aware of your surroundings and avoid displaying valuable items. Crime rates can vary significantly between cities and regions, with some areas having higher crime rates than others. Always use common sense and stay informed about local safety advice.

Visas: Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa to visit Brazil. It is important to check visa requirements in advance and apply for the visa before your trip.

Travel Insurance: It is highly recommended to purchase travel insurance that covers medical expenses, loss of luggage, and trip cancellations. While Brazil does offer a public health system (SUS) that provides free healthcare to residents and visitors in emergencies, the quality of care can vary and may not meet all your needs. Therefore, having travel insurance is crucial for comprehensive coverage and peace of mind.

Public Transport: In major Brazilian cities, the public transportation system is available but can be crowded. Options can be limited in smaller cities and rural regions. Uber and other ride-sharing services are popular alternatives to public transport in many cities. Taxis are also a reliable option, particularly in larger cities. Be sure to use reputable taxi services and be aware of the safety measures in place. Renting a car may be necessary in some areas due to limited public transport options.

Health: Ensure you are up-to-date on vaccinations before traveling, especially if you plan to visit regions with specific health risks like the Amazon rainforest.
