Dress Code
Pack clothes for a very relaxed time at the beach. Brazilian women wear abbreviated bikinis and kangas (pareos) and Havianas most of the day and casual clothes in the evening. A good hat and lots of sun protection are essential. Leave all expensive jewelry and watches at home; no one in Brazil wears wealth on their wrists.
Visas
Since the U.S. required Brazilians to get visas to enter the U.S. after 9/11, Brazil has required Americans to have visas to travel to Brazil. Zierer Visa service can usually have one processed within a few days.
