Transport to/from GIG

by Porteno

Shuttle Rio is for the me the easiest and most economical method of getting to and from the international airport. The cost is around U$S 6 per person and the mini buses are very comfortable and safe. They will take you directly to your hotel and pick you up for the return to GIG. If you arrive at Terminal One International FlightsWhen leaving the restricted area turn right and walk to the Green sector – Domestic flights. At the end you will see a RIOTUR information booth right in front of the passenger exit. That is your meeting point. Five minutes before departure time our driver will meet you there with a SHUTTLE RIO sign and will take you to the vehicle. If you arrive at Terminal Two International Flights When leaving the restricted area walk forward and you will pass by an elevator on your left hand side. Keep walking until you find the RIOTUR information booth close to the domestic...

Airpass.

by cachaseiro

Brazil is a big country and if your time is limited then flying is a good option.An airpass can save you a lot of money if you plan to fly more than one stretch while in Brazil.The airline TAM is at the moment the airline with the best airpass.You will need to book an airpass in advance so make sure not to leave that unril your arrival or you will end up paying more money for your tickets.

Amazonas by boat

by cachaseiro

Travel Amazonas by boat and live out your dreams.I spend 6 days living in a hammock on a cargoboat going up Amazonas.Most boats there are cargo boats that also has space for passengers and travelling on them is a true adventure.In order to go on them just show up at the harbour and talk to the people at the various shipping offices and you should be able to locate a boat leaving within the next day or two.

driving in brazil

by rkearns

i would seriously consider not doing it if you don't know portuguese because the traffic signs are in portuguese. in a smaller town, it would make little difference because you could just read up on traffic laws. but i would only do it in a large city if you knew enough of the language to read the signs. it's crazy out there!!! also check out the traffic laws.....they're a little different. for example, it's illegal to drive w/flip flops and have an elbow hanging out the window. i don't have a great link (couldn't find any) but maybe the brazilian govt. website will have one??? oh, and no and driving. not even one. it will cost you a year suspension of your license and over $800 USD.definitely rent a car in smaller towns like florianopolis where you can explore the island and its beaches.

To not use Avis rent company - troubles with AVIS

by viandrey

Hello,Please be carefully when you renting the car in Brazil, specially from AVIS rent company.Their personal are not speak English, even simple words. Additionally their contracts in Portuguese language only. They can rent you faulty GPS device, like in my case with broken arm from GPS to rubber glass connector. Later they will say that it your fault and to charge not just partial fee or insurance fee but all prise. The prise can be twice bigger from real on market price for this type of device. NEVER AVIS.

Around Brazil

by FaraiMazonde

Getting Around by RoadRoad conditions vary. Brazil has roads ranging from very good paved highways to pot-holed, dusty tracks. Federal highways crisscross the country between major cities and are denoted by the letters BR plus a number. Smaller roads take the initials of the state (eg RJ for Rio de Janeiro) plus a number. Traffic drives on the right. Coach: Coaches are by far the easiest and most popular way of getting around Brazil. Services between major cities and tourist destinations are generally comfortable and efficient but distances are long. Main routes include São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, Recife to Salvador and Florianopolis to São Paulo. There are many operators including Expresso Brasileiro (tel: (11) 5061 7566; website: www.expressobrasileiro.com) and Auto Viação 1001 (tel: (11) 4004 5001; website: www.autoviacao1001.com.br). Car hire: International companies operate from...

Flying with Varig

by toonsarah

Our itinerary demanded a number of internal flights. The best option for these was the local carrier, Varig, with its reasonably priced selection of passes. With the Brazil Air Pass you can make your own package choosing between 4 and 9 vouchers to fly during a period of 30 days (including the date of departure). Each voucher allows you to fly one domestic route operated by VARIG or GOL within Brazil, whatever the distance. The Brazil Air Pass can only be issued at a VARIG Office abroad or through a VARIG appointed travel Agency abroad, so you need to plan in advance of your trip. According to their website (below) you also need to have travelled to Brazil with Varig, but as we flew with British Airways I imagine that travel agents can find a way round that rule ;) Fares currently range from US$479 for 1-4 passes to US$1079 for the maximum 9 passes.On the whole we found Varig efficient,...

Flying Gol

by Elena77

Gol almost is like Brazil's RyanAir, but Gol does have the better service! ;) Journeying through a country as big as Brazil needs to be especially well planned. Travelling by air is, in most cases, the fastest way of getting from A to B; and it's also pretty cheap. On our last trip to Brazil we visited 7 cities in 14 days and we mostly went with Gol. We found the service very friendly and helpful, check-in was proceeded quickly and trouble-free. And even though overbooking seems to be a common problem with some Brazilian airlines, Gol seems to be very well organized. Gol also offers free transport for passengers between the São Paulo airports Congonhas and Guarulhos, in Rio de Janeiro between the airports Galeão and Jacarepaguá, and from Navegantes airport to the city of Blumenau. Credit cards such as American Express, MasterCard and Visa are accepted.

Getting to Ouro Preto from Belo Horizonte

by AS34

Just a little warning, we were told that the car ride from Belo Horizonte to Ouro Preto would be an hour and a half....this was not true. It took us at least a half an hour to leave the city of Belo Horizonte before embarking on a two hour drive to Ouro Preto. I'm just writing this tip so that no one forgets to visit a bathroom beforehand because they underestimate the length of the trip!(we did exactly this)

Domestic flights in Brasil

by hmoitta

Flights in Brasil can be very expensive, due to great distances. For foreigners who want to visit 4 or more places, the best are the brazilian airlines passes by VARIG and TAM airlines. About 100 US$ each flight.Other domestic airline with good prices are:GOL
