Brazil tours & holidays

Many foreign nationals can enter Brazil without a visa for short stays. Citizens from countries without visa-free arrangements must apply for an e-visa or standard tourist visa through a Brazilian embassy or consulate in advance.

To enter Brazil, you may also need:

• Valid passport with at least six months of validity after your return date and at least one blank page

• Evidence of accommodation

• Proof of sufficient funds

• Proof of onward travel

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Internet access is widely available in cities and tourist areas like Rio and Sao Paolo. However, it may be less frequent or unreliable in rural and remote areas.

You can use your mobile phone in most urban areas, but more remote areas may not have network coverage. Ensure you have global roaming activated with your mobile carrier before you leave home if you want to stay connected.

Toilets in Brazil vary. Flushable, Western-style toilets are common in cities, large hotels, malls and clubs, but squat toilets are common in rural areas. Either way, carrying a supply of toilet paper and soap is a good idea, as these aren’t always provided in public toilets.
