Default Cost?

Hey I'm traveling down to Brazil for a couple months in mid april-june. I'll be backpacking and was just wondering what a good budget would be to bring. I've read online numerous different amounts but I was just hoping to get a better breakdown on here. Maybe a cost on food and stuff which I'm having trouble finding.

Thanks Paul

Default Re: Cost?

Hi Paul,

To give you a rough estimate:

* Accommodation: Around $30 per night
* Food: Around $15 per day to eat
* Activities: $15
* Transportation: $50 for bus tickets, getting around, etc

So you are looking at around $4000 spending money for a couple of months. However, in some places you should be able to save some money, may be cutting down on fun activities, and so on.

I would advise to carry on you as much as you are comfortable with. You will need cash on you as you cannot relay simply on credit cards, traveler's cheques, etc; and you will save a small fortune in the process. The reason I say this, it is that you might be limited on the amount of money you can spend on a credit card.

Traveler's cheques can be a hassle because there is only a couple of banks (Banco de Brasil, etc) in Brazil where you can exchange them commission free.

Hope this helps
