Local style + dress code
Rio is beach-casual: havaianas + light fabrics. Smart-casual for nicer restaurants in Ipanema/Leblon.
Dress code: very casual
Public holidays in Brazil
Plan around national holidays — many businesses close, transport gets busier, and prices for flights/hotels can spike.
Money & currency
The Brazilian Real (BRL, symbol R$) is the official currency. Live exchange rates are updated daily.
What to pack
Each city has month-by-month packing lists computed from local climate data — temperatures, rainfall, peak hazard seasons, and Brazil's dress code.
