Most travelers need a visa to enter Brazil. However, this is not required for all countries. Check the specific requirements for your country. Visas can be applied for online through the website of the Brazilian embassy. A visa on arrival is not available, so you should submit your application in advance to avoid possible complications.
The São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport (GRU) is the largest and best-connected airport in Brazil. From here, you have access to many domestic and international flights. Alternatively, the Rio de Janeiro-Galeão Airport (GIG) is a good choice for travelers wanting to visit the coastal region. Plan your onward journey early to avoid delays.
The local currency in Brazil is the Real (BRL). It is advisable to carry some cash for small expenses, but credit cards are accepted in most tourist areas. Be sure to inform your credit card providers before your trip to avoid issues using them abroad. ATMs are widely available, but always check the fees.
Vaccinations such as Hepatitis A and B as well as Typhoid are recommended. A travel insurance is also advisable to cover medical expenses. This is especially important for motorcyclists to be well insured in case of an accident. Check the vaccination requirements of the Brazilian government and consult a doctor before your trip.
To ride a motorcycle in Brazil, you need a license valid for riding motorcycles. An international driving permit is recommended to avoid legal issues. Make sure to carry all required documents, including your national driving license and vehicle papers, to pass any police checks.
