here cost 14 BRL including a couple of courses and a drink. Nicer meals at a
more modern restaurant with a nicer décor cost around 35 BRL. Shopping is very
cheap here, just about 103 BRL for a week. Everything is more expensive if you

Transportation – Long-distance buses are very
convenient, cheap, and comfortable way to travel. Bus tickets cost about 8-10

Saving Tips
Go off season – Around the Rio Carnival,
accommodation prices will be triple increase. December to March is also a very
busy time as people from the Northern go to escape the winter. Try to avoid
these days if you want to get low prices.
Buddy up – In Brazil, you’ll pay insurance for a
single room, almost twice the price of a double. Let go with a friend to halve
the price of your accommodation if you’re not excited about staying in a dorm.
Agree on taxi prices – Negotiate the price for your
journey with the taxi driver before going—many drivers will not use meters and
try to take your money. Using the bus is better most of the time.
