Before you travel

Ranges from Amazon humidity to a temperate south, with seasons reversed relative to Europe.

During your flight

On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.

Mosquito protection

Insect protection is a priority in the Amazon, the Pantanal and coastal rainforest areas.

Sun & heat

Beach and boat days produce heavy exposure. Water-resistant SPF 50+ is the practical choice.

Food & water

Bottled water is widely used outside major cities. Electrolytes help during Carnival heat and long transfers.

First aid

A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
