Brazil Accommodation
Hotels
Rio de Janeiro/São Paulo: Many modern hotels, ranging from the very expensive deluxe to the moderately priced. It is vital to book well in advance for Carnival (which takes place annually on the four days leading up to Ash Wednesday, usually in February).
Brasília: Small number of good hotels. Most tourists visit Brasília by air from Rio or São Paulo for a day trip, or make a single-night stopover.
Bahia (Salvador): Small number of good hotels, some moderately priced hotels, some small-scale guesthouses.
Amazon Basin: This region is being developed in part as a tourist attraction and has numerous lodges. Visitors are reminded that hotel tariffs are subject to alteration at any time and are liable to fluctuate according to changes in the exchange rate.
Note: The best guide to hotels in Brazil is the Portuguese-language Guia do Brasil Quatro Rodas, which includes maps, available from book shops and any news stand in Brazil.
Grading: The Brazilian Tourist Board has a star-rating system (from 1- to 5-star), but the classification is not widely used.
Camping/Caravanning
The Camping Clube do Brasil has around 48 sites in 14 states. Those with an ‘international camper's card' pay only half the rate of a non-member. For those on a low budget, service stations can be used as campsites. These are equipped with shower facilities and can supply food.
