Warnings Or Dangers: Motel
  • Tip Rating:
  • A motel in Brazil is not exactly a cheap hotel near a motorway, but the favourite place for illicit (ok, and licit as well) encouters.

    Instead of an unconfortable bed, you are quite likely to find a mirrored ceileing and round bed, payed for by the hour.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Getting money
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The ATM is probably the best way to get money in São Paulo - there are a lot of ATMs, the exchange rate on the cards are usually good and fees are not too high.

    But take a few precautions to make sure that you keep the money!

    1- avoid ATMs that are way out in the parking lot, very isolated or that someone could hide nearby.

    2- there are plenty of ATMs inside shopping centers, supermarkets, bank agencies and other safe places - use those!

    3- at night, the amount of money you can get is severely limited (around R$ 200) - plan around that! I avoid the ATM in gas stations, as it is obvious I was getting money and easy for someone to follow me.

    4- do all the same safety procedures you use at home (hide pin numbers, etc.)

     I've never seen the word 'licit' used. Very funny! Without photos still a very entertaining and informative page. Thanks!

     Wonderful. I imagined Sao Paulo to be a bright, colourful, cheerful and interesting place to be. You have made it come alive, thank you. Carole.
