Packing List

by Tigris

In general, I think the best bag is a backpack. One big for your clothes and so on, and one small for daytrips and passport, tickets and all the really important stuff. Carry this as a handluggage on the planes, buses.. etc. Bring a ball! A volleyball that can be used both as a ..volleyball and a football. It is a GREAT way to meet locals!Sunscreen of course, especially if you go in the warm season or the north coast, which is not far from Ecvator. If you plan to do some swimming or surfing, get some ear-plugs! There are big waves most of the coastline, and if you get hit by one of those, you might as well find yourself with a clogged ear for the rest of the trip.. Water in the ear is not a good idea when you have a long flight ahead of you either. My eardrum cracked when we were on the plane home (Ouch!!!) :o( You find drugstores (Farmacías) on nearly every corner. Don't bring your...

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...

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.

BRING YOUR BIKINI by the way...There is a nude beach somewhere in Buzios, I don't know If I'd go and take all my clothes off...maybe for other people that very common but I only make topless once in Barcelona, I was with a friend, nobody knows me...ok, I take it out! I've never asked my husband if he loves the idea. LOL

NOthing Special, but if you are heading into the Amamzon, I reccomend you take as little as possible, as most places to stay aren't very big, and not many places to keep the stuff. Also variable. In the cities, normal clothes are best. But in the outer regions, whole-body covering is reccomended. I know it's not likely, but you wouldn't want the chance of catching malaria or something. Oh, nothing much. FOr the tropical regions, like the rainforest, i really reccoment some extras, because if you get hurt in there, who knows where the next city is? I don't think it's relly that needed, but if you are really paranoid, i reccomnd bringing quinine protection pills, but you need to ask your doctor for those. Bring a lot of extras if you are not in the cities, because small shops aren't very helpful. N/A N/a

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.

Never forget:1. Sun glasses2. Moisturizer3. Sun block4. 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.

Pack light. Cabbis get crabby with heavy luggage although generous tipping usually cures their woes. Business Travel 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.

Don't forget a bathing suit and light clothes. Remember that Brazil is a tropical country. But if you are coming to the south, and it is winter, you can even get some snow. 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!!!!!
