In Antonina e Morretes there are many options for outdoor activities (trekking, climbing, rowing, and more), however, it is necessary to book in advance. Most areas are accessible by car. The region is safe and the people are very friendly. The towns are small and the historic center is simple and welcoming; it's worth trying the 'barreado' (beef stew), the local bananas, and products made from them.

Spent a week in rio with my best friend (two solo females) and we felt very safe around Leblon and ipanema - however, copacabana was a completely different story, a lot of very crazy people walking around trying to snatch us - if you walk around daytime and choose to uber instead of walking many blocks, you will be fine. food, coffee, clothing, shopping in general and beach drinks were super cheap and good quality - highly recommend praia vermelha and pao de açucar, jardim botânico as well was one of the most most beautiful places i have ever seen - we stayed in leblon, but next time i would...

I’ve been to Salvador many times! DM with questions. I have a friend who lives there now and I would happy to hook you up with her. The city feels like Nee Orleans in Brazil. Amazing architecture and art and music scene is one of the best in the world. What is not to love?!?

Florianópolis! Incredible! Party. Beach, good food. Europe in Brazil, it's safe and there are many tourists. It's expensive. But it's amazing, it's a safer Brazil. Santa Catarina - Florianópolis, Balneário Camboriú, Jurerê Internacional.

São Paulo is not really safe, you must pay attention to your luggage, purse, cellphone all the time when you're walking, mostly in touristic places and at night. When you are by yourself, avoid using your phone in the street or earphones, so you don't risk losing your phone.

Florianópolis is a safe place when we're talking about robberies and assaults, but not 100% safe when we're talking about violence against woman. Stay together is our best way to keep safe and care about ourselves.

Its not the safest city in Brazil but it's cole to the countryside so it's not that dangerous, nothing compared to São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro for example. You have to be careful but you can hold your cellphone while walking on the street.

In Brazil in general, and also here in Porto Alegre, where I live, it’s important to keep your belongings very close to you at all times, like your phone, bag, and wallet. Stay aware of the area you’re walking in and pay attention to the people around you. If you notice someone watching you too closely, something might happen. It’s safer to walk around if you’re accompanied, not all areas of Porto Alegre are like this, but to be on the safe side, having someone with you is better. Avoid walking alone at night, especially in downtown Porto Alegre. Stick to busier, well-lit areas. During the...
