BELO HORIZONTE: SUNDAY GIANT FAIR

by swesn

The authorities of Belo Horizonte manages to close the busy Avenue Afonso Pena and stall-holders and their helpers miraculously transform this road into a HUGE MARKET. There are over 3000 stall-holders in this market!! Belo Horizonte is quite an untouristy town that most people just skip it. Well, true, I do not have much else to recommend about Belo Horizonte except for this wonderful market.I thoroughly enjoyed myself, checking out everything that was for sale. There were furniture, lots of baskets, clothes, children’s clothes, toys, tonnes of costume jewellery and finally at the extreme end, shoes and bags. It seemed odd to list them out like this in a sentence but in reality, there were just rows and rows and rows and rows of stalls selling these goods, somehow organised into these various departments. Then, along the side of the park (the nearby Parque Municipal), there are art...

RIO DE JANEIRO : SUNDAY IPANEMA FAIR

by swesn

The Sunday Ipanema Fair is a lovely affair...The stalls are located around a square. There are handicraft stalls of all types, some very lovely and creative indeed. It is quite huge and I spent a delightful time wandering around the stalls at least 2 times as there are so many tempting things on offer.In the middle of the park, paintings are sold. And some of them are indeed really amazing works of art!Avoid the fair at Copacabana beach (which sells mainly touristy T-shirts and souvenirs) and just spend your Sunday here!! Lovely sun-dresses, skirts and sarongs, hand-made crafts like bags, belts, etc..., display items for the house, some kitschy Barbie-doll dresses, very good paintings

24 hour, Citi, etc.: ATMs few and far between - get cash while you can.

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.

Stones in Brazil

by Capitao

Brazilian precious stones are also very famous. Look for the Brazilian yellow Topazio and the blue "Agua Marinha". The jewels with these stones are very beautiful and normally sold in good prices. Everything is cheap...

Made of wood????

by worldcam

If you are in a locale with high humidity, be careful if you purchase anything made of wood. I never thought about it, but when I arrived back in Canada in the dead of winter with the dry air, the wood products we purchased dried out and cracked a bit. Beware!

H. Stern: Jewels

by acemj

You'll see this store all over Brazil and it is the country's best known jeweler. They specialize in creating original pieces using fine jewels and stones from Brazil. Many of their designs have been worn by famous Hollywood stars. I took a look at some of their products at the store in Rio and they really were quite attractive, but not in my budget.

Various: Street markets

by acemj

In every Brazilian city that I visited I noticed street markets. In Rio (more specifically, in Ipanema) there is a market known as the Feira Hippie Ipanema, or the Hippy Market in which you can buy all kinds of arts, crafts, artwork and souvenirs.Just ask a local and they'll let you know where the markets are located and when they are open (most are just one or two days a week- usually on the weekends).

by mangueirense

Everybody in Brazil use Havaianas, the famous Flip Flops you can start to see in Europe and the US now too.Brazilians use them everywhere they go, if to the beach, to a restaurant or sometimes even for a shopping mall....so as a tourist in Brazil you simply have to get one pair of them too to walk around with!You will get them in different styles and colours, in shopping malls or shops especialized in it they will cost around 8-9 brazilian Reais, at the beach or street markets they are little more cheap.
