We've all noticed the late volatility of the exchange rate. I believe it got as low as 4.65 just a few short months ago. Let's hope the trend continues with the BRL losing ground against the usd. Giving us tourists More money to pump (with every pelvic thrust) into the local economy is a good thing!

Posts: 18Rio Trip, First Timer impressions
Hi guys,
So I arrived in Rio few days ago.
Its my first time here. I'm from Germany, Little bit Spanish knowledge, but no Porto. So let me tell some first impressions:
The first 2 days I just did the typical sightseeing (Sugar Loaf, Christo de Redeemer, Fort Copacabana. Etc.
I had my apartment at Copacabana booked via Booking com, large 1 bed room for low price, what I think is so, because of low season (9 days per day 20 $).
Tuesday I checked the typical spots, which have been here spoken, often: Mabs, Kalabria, Dolce Vita.
Started at 10:00 pm At at Mabs. With the passage of time more and more girls showed around, about 5 girls from beginning till 7 girls when I left.
Checked kalbria around at midnight, about 6-7 Girls there.
And looked at Dolce Vita at 0:30 ,which was already well visited with some foreign guys and plenty 10 girls. T.
There I had a eye on a slim tall dark skinned chick, named Ravena, agreed for 2 hours, 1000 Reais, and we left at 2 am.
It was good session, no time pressure, she was kind, enjoyed the time, too.
Wednesday wanted have termas day, Started with centarus at 7 pm.
Entry 140 Reais, About 7 girls when I entered and maybe 10 when I left at 9:30 pm.
Some girls was little bit to aggressive for my taste. Some looked not much interested.
Did not find a chick for my taste, so headed to next ome: Solarium at 10 pm.
Entry 120 Reais when you pay cash, 150 Reais which card.
Prices 40 minutes: 340 for girl + 150 for the room.
Prices 1 hour: 480 for girl +150 for the room.
They are opening very early at 2 pm And bar closing already about 0:30, this was the time what I was told.
Latest to pick up girl and a hour at room. I had here a nice 1 hour session with Candy, tall slim girl with cute beauty face, good service.
On Thursday I tried social media out (Tinder, Seeking, Travefriend.)
No chance at Tinder, but the others if you have a premium membership often helps me to meet girls at my destinations when I travel.
At seeking I met a young fresh 22 year old girl at 7 pm, named Jennifer, little bit shy, new to business, wanted 600 are for 2-3 hours.
So we had some food at Bicus and continued with Champagner with no time presure, relaxed atmosphere at my apartment.
Overall the information with termas and the spots (Mabs, Dolce Vita, Kalabria) at Copacabana here helped me a lot, and I had a good start here.
Now, as weekend starting, I will try out some clubs at Centro or Lapa, Zone morth.
Mosaico was recommended here many times. Just struggling to find more information on internet.
I guess its on are. Hilário Ribeiro, 243, next to Villa Mimosa.
So I guess I will start the evening at some bars at Lapa, then head to VM and later Mosaico after 0 pm.
Maybe you have some better advice for Friday, Saturday clubs scene.
Will let you guys know, how my impressions have been.

Side note: I have used Google flights to book buy tickets from SP to Rio and as long as you buy 3-4 weeks in advance, the price is really cheap. (Around 100 bucks). If you get off the plane in SP, walk upstairs and try to buy the next plane headed to Rio, it can cost you between 4-500 dollars.

Had he bought the ticket online himself without a CPF, he would have paid the foreigner price. Had he gone to the ticket office he would have had to pay for transportation to and from, in-person surcharge, and he would have still been paying the foreigner price because he did not have a CPF!

Posts: 2395Hassle of booking a domestic flight in BR
When I tried the GOL website on my MacBook I got stuck because it returned a message error. When I tried the GOL mobile website I got stuck because there was no "passport number" (only a "CPF number" option).
So I tried the LATAM website in Brazil. Everything went fine until I wanted to register my credit card. It asked for my credit card data and a CPF number (mandatory field, no "passport number" option).
I assumed what they wanted was for foreigners to use their European or US website, so I tried the German website. After all, little did it matter where the ticket came from (except the Brazilians might wash their hands of any issue like rescheduling and tell me to direct my enquiry to Germany). But lo and behold, the price for the same ticket on the LATAM German website was three times as high as the Brazilian price. Dual pricing through the back door.
I'll give the cash to the garota and she'll do the bookings at the Brazilian price for us both, but I don't like this as it involves giving her my personal data.

Does anybody know if there are any other South American countries, like Colombia, that require or "sometimes require" yellow fever certificates when traveling by air from Brazil? Does Argentina require yellow vax? How about Bolivia? I'm thinking of traveling to these countries during my next jaunt down to South America. It would suck to by plane tickets and then be denied boarding because I don't have a yellow fever certificate.

Posts: 2395No more Ueber Eats in Brazil
This is a minor setback. I liked to live in an AirBnB in order to order food from time to time.
The food delivery app cornering the market in Brazil is Ifood and it requires a CPF to register. It can be set up with Google Pay but I don't even know if I can use Google pay with my European credit card. Anyway I don't want to find out since I am not using my main Google account on the smartphone I'm moving around with in SP as the risk of the phone being stolen is high.
A warning about cash: money changers are closed not only on Sunday but also on Saturday. The only way to get cash over the week-end is from ATMs (but banks are also closed and I'm reluctant to use them outside banking business hours in case my card remains stuck).
