Rio de Janeiro Adventure Trips
Budget Scale
Editor Rating: 6-Brazil, and in particular Rio, has been getting more and more expensive as the years pass. Brazil is South America's most expensive country, and Rio and Sao Paulo its two most expensive cities.
Indie Travel Scale
Editor Rating: 6-Travelers are definitely in for a bit of culture shock when arriving in Brazil, even if you've already been traveling around South America. The language change can be problematic and Portuguese is the language here, not Spanish.
