If you want to bring beautiful souvenirs from Brazil then make sure you'll go to the "Cheiro da Terra" complex!
They have a big variety of souvenirs, beginning by postcards to jewelry, huge ships from the Northeast, etc...
I have not seen a bigger variety of souvenirs like in this complex, even not in "Mercado Modelo" (Salvador) or any other place!
And the best of all: The prices of the souvenirs are really cheap compared to the bigger cities like Rio or Salvador!
So if you are there take just souvenirs for all of the persons you want to give, you'll not find better oportunity !
