🌡️ Health & Safety in Brazil

  • Yellow Fever: Endemic in many regions (including Rio, São Paulo, and Amazon areas). Proof of vaccination may be required for onward travel.
  • Mosquito Protection: Brazil has dengue, Zika, and chikungunya — use strong repellent, cover up, and stay in screened or air-conditioned rooms.
  • Food & Water Safety: Drink bottled water and avoid raw salads, ice, and undercooked foods in rural regions.
  • Heat & Dehydration: Brazil’s tropical climate can cause fatigue and dehydration — carry electrolytes and avoid peak heat.
  • Amazon & Pantanal Regions: Ask us about malaria tablets and enhanced mosquito protection.
