Get informed about the visa requirements for Brazil before you travel. Citizens of selected countries can enter visa-free. If a visa is required, you can apply online or at the Brazilian embassy in your country. A visa on arrival is not possible, so plan ahead!
The São Paulo International Airport (GRU) is the largest and offers the most international connections. Other recommended airports are Rio de Janeiro (GIG) and Brasília (BSB). Check the flights and adjust your itinerary to the best flight connections.
The local currency in Brazil is the Real (BRL). Credit cards are accepted in many places, but cash is essential for off-road adventure travels. Withdraw money at ATMs or visit exchange bureaus in large cities to get cash.
Important vaccinations are recommended for Hepatitis A/B and Typhoid. Travel health insurance is strongly advised, as treatments can be expensive. Ensure that your insurance also covers off-road activities. Check in advance to organize everything!
To drive in Brazil, you need a valid international driver’s license and your national driver’s license. Pay attention to traffic laws, which may differ from European standards. Also, have your vehicle insurance ready to avoid problems.
Don't forget to buy a SIM card for mobile internet. Go to an official provider like Claro, Vivo, or Tim. You will often find sales points directly at the airport or in larger cities. Compare offers and choose the best plan for your needs!
