Brazil Beach Vacation

Filed under: Brazil General - November 14th, 2004

Thinking of flying away to somewhere warm this Christmas? If so I highly recommend considering Brazil. I know it isn’t one of the regular vacation destinations, ie. Hawaii, Mexico, Bermuda, etc … and flights to Brazil cost a little more. But I assure you, once you get to Brazil the cost of vacationing there is very reasonable! For example, as of Friday (Nov. 12, 2004) the Brazilian real was trading at R$2.792 to $1 USD, this exchange rate ensures your money will go a long way.

Some of the more popular Brazilian items people enjoy buying when vacationing in Brazil include: Havaianas, Brazil Clothing, Brazilian Art, and Brazilian bikinis. Usually the best place to buy Brazil stuff is at Feirinhas, these are little shops located along sidewalks or along beach boardwalks. They usually setup around 4:30pm in the afternoon and are available until 8:00pm or so.

Brazil stuff has also become very popular to buy on-line. Many online merchants sell a selection of Brazil goods. At Cities in Brazil we’ve created a web page for you which lists some of the more popular Brazil Stuff available.
