Rules in force · 6After dark, use a ride-hailing car between clusters
- Brazil ↗Visa rules differ by passport and have changed in recent years (some nationalities now need an e-visa): check with Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs or your nearest Brazilian consulate before booking.
- Brazil ↗Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for many areas, including the Amazon and Pantanal; check with a travel clinic at least 10 days before travel.
- Brazil ↗Keep your phone out of sight in the street and on beaches; phone theft is the most common crime against visitors in big cities.
- Rio de Janeiro area ↗Cloud hides the mountain views on many mornings: keep the Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf days flexible.
- Rio de Janeiro ↗Phone snatching is the main crime against visitors: keep your phone in a front pocket or a zipped bag, not in your hand on the pavement or on the beach.
- Rio de Janeiro ↗After dark, use a ride-hailing car between clusters; do not walk the beachfront edges, Lapa side streets or Santa Teresa slopes.
