Eat Cairu Ice Cream...
by twy
Eat Cairu Ice Cream everyday... I'm not kidding... It's the best Ice Cream in the world, and ever since I left Belem I've thought about it everyday. We would walk for over an hour to get to Cairu, even in the sweltering heat... The best flavors are Tapioca and Mango... So Super. My fondest memory is the shopping for Hammocks - the first day we went they tried to charge us 30 real, the next day, 20 real, the third day - it was down to 10 real... we took that deal, but later found them cheaper - oh well!

Packing List
by pjallittle
The smaller the better. You just do not need much in this area of the world.
During rainy season, the obvious. Sturdy shoes, but there is nothing that you cannot buy. We always pack a couple of empty cloth bags for all the just in case purchases. Go light, come home heavy. Ship anything that you don't need right away. Even from one city to another, it works and is not terribly expensive.
As little as possible. All of these areas have toiletries and medicines, probably a lot cheaper than you would pay for them at home and usually with no Rx.
