Brazilian Travel 101: Money
Last week we covered the critical information you should know about visas and entering Brazil. This week let’s look at the currency Brazil calls its own — the Brazilian Real — and some great tips on managing money during your travels!
First things first: The real is pronounced “Hay-ow” (plural: “Hay-Ice”). Knowing this may come in handy when you’re considering a purchase and expecting someone to say “real” as in “the real thing”. One real is made up of 100 centavos, similar to one dollar being composed of 100 cents!
Using an ATM is the easiest way to obtain money in any country. In Brazil, if you are located in a large city, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding an ATM to withdraw money. While there are plenty of ATMs that can be found around Brazil, not all will work with foreign cards. It’s best to stick to ATMs that advertise the logo or service you require, VISA, MasterCard, Interac, etc.
When it comes to making a purchase at a restaurant or bar, tipping is usually included on the bill as a 10% service fee. If it’s not included, it is customary to tip 10%. Of course if you receive excellent service, it’s not frowned upon to leave more!
At the time of writing 1 USD exchanges to 1.59 Brazilian reais. Be sure to check the exchange rate when you’re ready to plan your trip!
