Brazil is the largest country in South America and in terms of travel is probably the most diverse too. It’s a mostly tropical country with outstandingly interesting cities and diverse landscapes.
It is not the cheapest destination in South America but the local currency has suffered pretty big fall of late making it more affordable now particularly if you are traveling with US dollars.
We would normally address this subject at the end of an article but as a solo traveler then safety is going to be a concern. Of course if you read the travel advisories then you’d never likely go anywhere in Latin America. The US travel advisory is particularly nervous about recommending somewhere like Brazil.
Giving advise on travel safety in Brazil is no easy subject. Like all developing countries the gulf between rich and poor is significant, indeed some say that Brazil has the widest gap between the haves and have nots.
The general advise is to not carry too much in the way of valuables particularly if you are going for a longer times like over 31 days . In fact this is good solo travel advise to any country. Do you really need to take that brand new iPhone or Go Pro camera?
The cities of Brazil can be pretty unsafe in certain areas particularly at night. We’d advise that you take taxis particularly in cities like Rio and Sao Paulo where the gap between rich and poor is at it’s widest.
If you are really concerned about travel safety in Brazil then perhaps take a group trip like something offered by Intrepid Travel company.
The best time to head to Brazil in terms of weather is probably during the US winter months of November through April however Brazil is such a huge country that in reality any time is a good time to hit up Brazil and take in it’s many natural wonders.
For instance during the months of May through October you may want to visit the interior and the Amazon as this is the best time here. If you want coastal cities and festivals then go Nov – Feb but be aware that this is high season and you’ll pay a lot more at this time.
It should be possible to get yourself a bed for around the US$20 mark, even in the main tourist areas. There are youth hostels in Brazil, run by the Federação Brasileira de Albergues da Juventude, who have a list.
Be aware that even getting a bed in a dorm room during Carnival is difficult and if you turn up any time near sans a booking then you could literally be sleeping out on the streets!

Pousadas are guest houses, hotel familia means sharing meals with the family and possibly the bath too, and hotels are categorised according to quality. They usually always include breakfast in the price.
We cannot hide the fact that Brazil in many ways is no longer a true budget destination in the same way Peru or Bolivia might be. It’s roaring economy and speedy acceleration to first world status has taken it closer towards North America and European prices.
Because Brazil is reasonably large, fifth biggest in the world in fact, interior air travel is often the most practical way to go, but definitely not the cheapest. There are some air passes available which might offer a bit of a saving, worth looking into.
Bus services run long distance and the buses fall into three categories from comum, slow local transport which stops frequently, executivo, which are safer and faster as they don’t stop to pick up on the way, they’re also more comfortable and of course slightly more expensive, and leito or semi leito which are overnight services. Expect to pay more for these.
To eat cheaply take advantage of your accommodations breakfast, ask for the prato feito in restaurants, eat in lanchonetes where you pay first, or try to find a pay by weight place where you can also get thin according to how tight your budget is.
Spending time in Rio de Janeiro, at the Carnival or otherwise
Drinking cocktails on Copacabana beach to a mental soundtrack of Wham!
Trekking, in national parks, outside Rio, Sau Paulo and various other places
Surfing anywhere along the 7000+km coastline
Hang gliding and Paragliding, there are a few spots, the most well known is Pedro Bonita at Rio
White Water Rafting – in various rivers in San Paulo state.
Brazil is as sexy as the day is long and we consider it a great solo destination assuming you take safety precautions. They have the Carnival, just one of many festivals, the most entertaining football team, dancing and partying the night through.
Then there’s the Amazon rainforest, the beaches, the colonial architecture from back in the day when the Portuguese were taking over everyone’s countries to pinch their gold and an amazing array of wildlife.

Every four years, the attention of sports fans around the world focuses on one particular city: the host of the Summer Olympics. The 2016 Olympic Games took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it is not too soon to start planning your visit if you want to see the games in person – or if you just want to have an outstanding holiday. Opening Day is 5 August and the lavish Closing Ceremony will be held on the 21st. Tickets were no longer that easy to come by, but the experience promises to be unforgettable, in equal parts for the stunning venues, the exciting sporting events, and all that Rio has to offer.
Rio de Janeiro is one of the largest cities in Brazil, second only to São Paulo, and it draws millions of tourists every year. The main language is Portuguese and the currency is the ‘real.’ Olympic events will take place in four neighbourhoods: Barra, Copacabana, Deodoro, and Maracana, at 34 state-of-the-art competition venues, with most of the events held in Barra. Brazil is in the Southern Hemisphere, which means that August is towards the end of the winter(!) in Rio. Nonetheless, the weather is expected to be mild, with temperatures in the 70’s – nothing like winter in the UK. Rio is a coastal city and it is famous for its fabulous beaches, which are glorious even in the “winter” months. Anyone traveling to Rio for the Olympic Games, should put aside some time to just enjoy the attractions that make Rio de Janeiro such a beautiful destination.
Some of the top destinations near Rio that are definitely worthy of being on the ‘to visit’ list include the Big Island, Ilha Grande, some 90+ miles from Rio, a haven for those who like tropical forests and untouched beaches. Another beach resort is Buzlos, which sports nearly two dozen glorious beaches! For a bit of history mixed with the sea, picturesque coastal town Paraty features cobblestone streets and lovely shops, but it located some 160 miles from the events taking place in Olympic Village.
Brazil is one of the main gateways to South America, and Rio is the busiest air space in the country. Many airlines from North America, Europe and in some cases Asia / Pacific fly direct to Rio. Expect airfares to be high this year, in fact it might be cheaper to fly into another part of Latin America and then fly onwards.
Ok, lets be honest, Rio and Brazil doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to travel safety, and if you are on your own, you’ll need to be on your guard even more. However, do not let reputations put you off, many people visit Rio, even alone, and have a great time and are not victims of petty crime or worse. The same precautions should be taken as any other big city. Rio needs to be no more dangerous than your average European or North American city.
Rio is going to be jam packed during the Games, and on top of that it will be summer vacation time. It could be as busy as the carnival time. Our advice is always have something booked in advance and perhaps consider hostels, rather than hotels, as they’ll be a whole lot cheaper. Air Bnb is becoming popular in Brazil, so it might be worth checking out your travel dates on their site.
If you have time to spare, then you should consider heading north towards the big coastal cities, such as Recife. Also consider a trip inland to see the mighty Amazon and experience a totally different side of this fabulously diverse country.
Welcome to Solo Travel. Traveling alone is an awesome experience. We hope you’re inspired.

Silky white sand beaches fringed with tropical palms draw massive crowds to Brazil every year. But it’s not just beaches that capture the imagination of would-be travelers. Brazil is the co-owner of one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, the single most ecologically diverse nation on the planet, and boasts modern cities with a heavy art and foodie influence complete with brightly-colored and cobblestoned historic centers. 
Nearly the same size as the entirety of Europe, this massive Portuguese-influenced country is a dream destination for a diverse range of travellers & solo travel to Brazil is a great option. A well-developed infrastructure, plethora of easily accessible attractions, and culture of hostel-hopping easily lands Brazil on our list of 5 best destinations for Solo Travelers in Latin America .
Much like Mexico, Brazil, somewhat unfairly, is painted as a ‘dangerous travel destination’. But it’s also an extraordinarily popular destination which makes it solo traveler-friendly.
You can expect the cities to be hectic, bursting at the seams with people, and difficult to navigate. Public transportation, if you choose it, will be much of the same. But venture just outside the largest of Brazil’s cities and you’ll find stunning natural landscapes peppered with quaint pastel colonial towns. Unless you plan to diverge completely from the well-trodden path, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make friends in hostels, on walking tours, in museums, and most commonly, in Brazil’s pulsing nightlife scene.
Here are some helpful tips for smoothly traveling Brazil solo.
Let’s start with safety. It’s most solo travelers’ biggest concern when traveling abroad. These are a few things you can do to quell those fears.
Worried about Theft? I like to keep $20-30 in a separate pocket. This way if I am mugged (although unlikely) , I have a reasonable wad of cash to give up without losing everything. You can also stow some cash in your shoe, a tampon applicator, or a separate bag. 
If you’re a female traveling solo in Brazil be sure to check out our complete guide to safe solo female travel. Because unfortunately, travel can be a little more complicated for women.
Brazilians are social butterflies. They take the trademark friendliness of Latin American and turn it up to 100. This means you’ll likely leave Brazil with as many local friends as connections with fellow travelers. 
Here are some easy ways to meet people while solo traveling in Brazil.
Don’t panic. You’ll be able to get by with Spanish since the languages are very similar. Don’t speak either language? I would recommend a good translation app or handy phrasebook. English isn’t widely spoken outside of Rio and Sao Paulo.
Here’s a quick breakdown of your accommodation options in Brazil as a solo traveler. 
Hotels: Hotels in Brazil vary in quality. A quarto is a hotel room without a bathroom while an apartmento is a standard western-style hotel room with a bathroom included.
Motels: Similar to hotels but they commonly rent rooms by the hour and mostly to local couples. 
Pensão or Hotel Familar: A family-run hotel commonly known in other parts of the world as a guesthouse. Often a little pricer than standard hotels but with a more homey-feel.
Hostels: Shared accommodation often dormitory-style, more popular in large cities like Rio and Sao Paulo. 
Airbnb: Brazil has plenty of options for trendy luxurious Airbnbs if you need a break from the hostels.
Brazil is a well-developed country with a decent road system. The entire country is well-connected via a network of buses. You’ll likely traverse the country (slowly) by bus or soar above the winding roads on quick flights. But traveling within cities you’ll have the convenience of Uber. 
The routes between cities in Brazil can be lengthy. Upwards of 8 hours depending on the destination. Here’s a quick look at the different kinds of buses & their amenities when traveling between cities. 
Not all buses are created equal. It could be worth paying a little extra for added comforts on the long overnight routes. 
Convencional: The most basic (and cheapest) inter-city bus. There may not be bathrooms on board, but the bus will make regular bathroom breaks. 
Executivo & Semi-leito: More spacious and comfortable than convencional. There will be a bathroom on board and likely several other amenities such as water, snacks, blankets, or outlets. 
Leito: Good for long overnight buses. Leito offers a bunk or bed for each guest. 
Be sure to check out our group tours to Brazil if you want to save yourself the hassle and let someone else deal with the inconveniences of organizing travel. 
As long as you possibly can. Forget that Brazil is nearly the size of the entire continent of Europe, it’s also jam-packed with destinations and activities to keep a traveler busy for months. 
The destinations covered below can all be seen in about a month. For trips of shorter lengths, I suggest choosing a single region to focus on.
Let’s take a look at what Brazil has to offer. 
Heading from South to North, here are all the best destinations for solo travel in Brazil and some attractions to keep you busy.
This southernmost financial powerhouse can be a daunting first-stop in the country. Especially for those trying to navigate the graffiti-covered streets solo. But much like Rio, this metropolis cannot be missed. Start a street art tour at the Beco de Batman murals, and wander through architecturally impressive museums, churches, and aromatic markets. 
Sao Paulo is also one of the best destinations in Brazil for fans of the national pastime–futebol. Join the throngs of screaming fans and immerse yourself in one of the most iconic Brazilian traditions. It’s a perfect place to make friends too.
Although there is no shortage of beachy paradises in Brazil, Florianopolis is something special. Not only is it home to some of the best beaches in Brazil (with seriously jaw-dropping shores), it also has a thriving party scene with a laid-back atmosphere. Surfers, both regular and kite, are common-place here.
Technically speaking, this is the single largest waterfall in the world. Shared between Argentina and Brazil, this is just one of those bucket list destinations that you’ll kick yourself forever for if you don’t make it to. Verdant and often framed with rainbows from the cascades mist, this waterfall is far more beautiful than other massive flows like Niagara in the US and spindly streams like Angel Fall’s in nearby Venezuela.
With connections to this city directly from Iguacu, this is one of the most easily accessible areas in Brazil for spotting diverse wildlife. Jaguars, anaconda, caiman, and more live in these jungles and it’s a popular spot for backpackers. If you’re short on time or don’t think a trip to the Amazon is within your budget you might opt instead for a weekend in Campo Grande.
Paraty is a paradise preserved in time. Cobblestone streets where cars are prohibited and a quaint historical town center coasted in white stucco and brightened with colorful trims. From Paraty, you can spend some time sifting through the sandy beaches, kayaking dense mangroves, or hiking in the mountains that provide a backdrop for the small town. Saco do Mamanguá is the most popular and provides spectacular views. 
Paraty is also famous for its locally made Cachaca. A staple ingredient in Caipirinhas, the national cocktail.
Just a short drive away is Trindade. A turquoise lagoon bordered by a stretch of sand pushed up against the jungle. Looking very similar to Colombia’s famed Parque Tayrona, it has a natural swimming area protected from the harsh currents.
Another world-class beaching destination. Boasting some of the loveliest beaches in Brazil solo travelers, in particular, will find this island easy to explore with plenty of tourist infrastructure and nightlife. You’ll never guess the idyllic island was once home to a banished leper colony and a high-security prison. But this nugget of history does make this pirate pit-stop a little more interesting than so many of the other Brazilian beaches.
You could spend your entire trip in Rio and still leave not having seen it all. The most iconic attraction (& viewpoint) is the Christ the Redeemer statue towering above the sprawling city. But Rio is also home to Sugarloaf Mountain with its swaying cable cars, plenty of adventure sports like hiking and paragliding, and some of Brazil’s best metropolitan beaches like Ipanema and Copacabana.  
You can explore the infamous favelas, drink countless caipirinha’s while reveling in the cultural heart of Brazil. If you’re feeling particularly fancy take a walk through the stunning Parque Lage and pay a visit to one of the mouth-watering foodie hot spots in the area. Take a free walking tour to get to know the city a little better before you hit the town at night and become acquainted with the thumping beat of Samba that has become a Brazilian trademark.  
More than anything else, Brazil and more specifically Rio, is famous for the raucous and wild celebration of Carnaval. If your visit coincides with the colorful festival be sure to find some friends at a hostel and join in the fun. It’s a bucket-list-worthy experience for sure.
Looking to immerse yourself in Brazil’s great outdoors? Pay a visit to Vale do Pati in Chapada Diamantina to get some off-the-beaten-path trekking in. The endless green canyon views highlight just how vast Brazil and its jungles truly are. You’ll pass lush forests, waterfalls, and gushing rivers before you reach the gravity-defying mirador overhanging the mountain.
This historic center of this city is all cobblestone streets and brightly colored facades. Revel in the stunning colonial architecture and baroque churches that South America is famous for. Salvador is unique from other Brazilian towns because of its prominent African influence, which produces some of the countries best music and cuisine. 
If you’re interested in partaking in a slightly more reserved, authentic, and less chaotic Carnaval this is the place to be. Heavy on religion and wild festivals this town is a fun clash of personalities.
If you’re not yet sick of the devastatingly beautiful urban beaches and vibrantly colored buildings you should pay a visit to Recife. What was once a small fishing village has blossomed into a culinary hotspot and is known today as the “Venice of Brazil”. The many canals cutting through the city and remnants of castles pay homage to its Italian namesake.
Beaches punctuated by red cliff sides, pale dunes, and modern skyscrapers. Although the city itself makes a great solo travel destination, you can also take a day trip to Jericoacoara, a spectacular virgin stretch of sand that puts the city beaches to shame. 
Especially consider adding this city to your itinerary if you have the time to go off-shore to Ilha de Fernando de Noronha. Recently deemed a protected marine park, this island is one of the most beautiful places in all of Brazil.
If you’re interested in the Brazilian Amazon, this is your gateway. Sitting at the banks of the Rio Negro river you’ll hire a boat to glide you across the dark w
