Brazil part 2

Part 2 - How to stay safe in Brazil.

A holiday to Brazil can be a very rewarding and unique experience.

However, high crime rates can ruin this experience for many tourists, so follow these tips below to minimise the risk.

• Try and stick with others throughout the trip, such as a small group with friends. Never wander off alone, especially at night. 
• Do not catch a bus at night, try calling a taxi from an established company (do not randomly pick one off the street, it may be unlicensed)
• Be vigilant of your surroundings and other people.
• Don't wear expensive jewellery or watches, or even expensive looking. Criminals can't tell the difference and will attempt to mug you either way. 
• Don't carry an excessive amount of cash, and distribute your money in many pockets, not just one. 
• Use ATM's inside a bank or shopping centre, and be careful of suspicious looking people around you.
• Keep cameras out of sight when not in use, such as in your pocket.
• Visit the city centre during work hours, it is said to be dangerous at night and on the weekend.
• Although the beaches are beautiful, be careful of thieves amongst the crowd.

If you follow these tips you should have a fun and enjoyable trip to the exotic country of Brazil. Happy flying!
