Visited Brazil for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $91/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.
AMA.
Brazil — overrated?

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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