Direct answers to what travellers ask us most.

How do domestic flights within Brazil work in FeelBraza itineraries?

Brazil is a continental country, so travelling between regions usually involves domestic flights. We handle the booking and management of all these tickets within your itinerary. We work with the country's main airlines (such as LATAM and Azul) and select the most convenient schedules to make the most of your travel time.

Is there airport arrival assistance (Meet & Greet)?

Yes. All our travellers receive a personalised welcome right after the international arrival. A FeelBraza partner driver or guide will be waiting for you with an identification sign to take you directly to your hotel with complete safety and comfort.

What is the best way to pay for extra expenses (meals, free-time tours, shopping) in Brazil?

Brazil is a highly digitalised country and international credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) are accepted in the vast majority of establishments in large cities and tourist hubs. In addition, PIX (Brazil's instant payment system) is now universal; if you have a global digital account that supports it, you can use it easily. We recommend bringing only a small amount of cash (Reais, or Euros/Pounds to exchange) for emergencies or small local shops in remote areas.

Are tips mandatory in Brazil?

They are not mandatory, but they are welcome. In restaurants, a 10% service charge (known as "taxa de serviço") is usually already included in the bill as a suggestion. For private guides and drivers, tips for good service are common, but entirely at your discretion.

Do I need any specific vaccination before travelling to Brazil?

It depends on the chosen destination. For ecotourism and nature areas (such as the Amazon or certain regions of Minas Gerais and the Northeast), the Yellow Fever vaccine may be recommended or required. We also suggest keeping your basic vaccinations up to date. We advise you on all the specific health requirements of your itinerary during the planning stage.

Is Brazil a safe country for tourists?

Yes, as long as you travel with proper preparation. As with any major international destination, there are areas that require extra attention. FeelBraza's difference is that we eliminate risk zones when designing your logistics: we work exclusively with private transfers, vetted hotels, accredited local guides and full remote support throughout your stay, so you can travel with complete peace of mind.

How do I get mobile internet during the trip?

Today the most practical option is an international eSIM activated before boarding, or buying a local SIM card (such as Vivo or Claro) as soon as you arrive in Brazil. We advise you on the best options so you have mobile data working as soon as you land.

Is the language barrier a problem? Do I need to speak Portuguese?

Don't worry if you don't speak Portuguese. In higher-category hotels, airports and the main tourist attractions, there are professionals who communicate in English. In addition, on FeelBraza itineraries all the guides who accompany field experiences are fluent in English (or other languages on request), ensuring you understand the culture, history and nature in depth.
