If you take a expensive camara with you be careful. If you carry it in the streets it is good to use a bag from a local supermarket around it. Leave a Comment

Depending on your form of travel, whatever suits you. Don't pack things you can't replace if you have a problem with luggage. We brought carry-on suitcases (one for each of us) so we didnt have to wait for luggage at each flight, but it still had to be checked once we were in Brazil. The planes for those interior flights were small, and only small parcels were placed in the overhead compartments. On a positive note, we never had to 'wait' for the luggage. They were very fast. We always lock our luggage, and even tho we unpack our clothing, we lock the suitcases--just so we can put the various item we are not carrying, inside.
Although the climate is warm, and style is causal, the style is there. Women often wear a simple shift style dress with slip on heels. Most Brazilians are very slender, and with that simple outfit everyone looked dressed! Male dress was also simple but stylish--slacks (not jeans) with a simple button short sleeve shirt--loose and airy. Many people wore flip-flops as well. Cut offs and sneakers were not seen. In a hot climate, wrinkle free, breathable fabrics are a godsend. Most places, even if they are air conditioned, are not cold. There may be quick rain storms--depending on local and time of year. We remained on the coast the entire trip.
Good sunscreen, and skin cream. Make sure you have sunglasses and a hat.
If you bring a digital or good camara, keep it on you and be alert. We left the digital at home and took a good, but fairly normal looking point and shoot with small telephoto.
At least two suits and a big shirt for a coverup. That sun is always there!
Have a good tour book and something that has common Portuguese words. At least you can point to the word if you can't say it right. Leave a Comment

I recommend you take luggage that can be closed with a small lock (most hotels/guest houses don't have lockers). In large cities, we left our daypacks at the hotel.
Take some comfortable and inexpensive clothes to blend in the crowd (e.g.: everyone wears plastic flip-flop sandales). Don't take any valuable outfits/gear as you might attract thieves. Hiking boots are not necessary when visiting the Iguacu Falls.
We took a small (i.e.: non-flashy) camera with us but in big cities, where crime rates are high, we left our camera in the hotel and used disposable cameras. Leave a Comment

small and easy to deal with-carry-on is best.
not much. it's warm in salvador all the time. i've been during their winter and summer and there wasn't much difference it what i wore.
in their winter you need a light sweater at night and a rain jacket.
buy your beach wear there.
comfortable shoes-the pelourinho is all cobble stone and during carnaval wear sneakers you don't care about-they will get trashed! (i bought a cheap pair down there that i just threw away before leaving)
stomach stuff-antiacids, pepto, immodium etc. it's also good to know the names of the differnet kinds of antibiotics you might need if you get that lovely traveler's sickness; you can buy them at the local pharmacies.
sunscreen -it's expensive down there. Leave a Comment

1. Sun glasses
2. Moisturizer
3. Sun block
4. Insect repelent (if going to the Amazon)
There are plenty of places to buy anything you may need, like sensitive film rolls, b&w films, batteries of all kinds and even equipment. Leave a Comment

Buy a digital camera...bring laptop.
Beach gear? Buy some of those paddle ball sets, people play them constantly along the beach.
One more thing, apparently your bikini it should be able to be packed into a tooth brush holder. Leave a Comment

Suntan lotion!!!! Brazilians love beaches and sun. As it is very hot, we have many mosquitos and other insects around. It's good that you carry some spray to keep them away, and also something for insect bites.
Don't forget your insect spray!!!!! Leave a Comment
