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 decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Avoid São Paulo? Or is it fine?

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

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

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

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