 ATM out of comission by peace_prevails Travelers to Brazil often find that their ATM cards do not work in many of the cash machines. When in remote areas especially, be sure to have plenty of spare cash. Banco 24 horas and some Banco do Brasil outlets have machines that accept PLUS, PULSE or INTERLINK, but many banks, such as CaixaBank, rarely have machines that work on these systems. Visa and MC are, however accepted in most places these days. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The shop owners are very friendly, they speak English, are very helpful. The store is clean, well laid out, and has a very friendly atmosphere. It is easily found from the ferry landing in Niteroi. I would have walked the distance, but didn't have alot of time...so I took a cab. It wasn't much in fare. Try to have exact change.
You can buy cotton fabrics suitable for sewing and for making quilting projects. They have a nice array of the usual premuim cottons and fabrics made in Brazil. I didn't see any Brazilian themed fabrics. That was a little disappointing, but didn't detract from my thrill at being there.
The fabrics are very reasonable, about $9US equivalent. That is reasonable for a Canadian where we pay upwards of $20 for a meter of good quality fabric.
