http://www.destinationtips.comSo you’ve already decided your next holiday destination; Brazil!!! Music, carnivals, beaches, fun fun fun in the sun sun sun!!! Yeah! But now we're going to remind you of some things NOT to do while you're there!
1) Don't Forget Your Shots
No, we’re not talking about vodka shots. We’re talking vaccinations. The Ministry of Health recommends that before travelling to South America you should make sure you’ve had recent Flu, Measles, Rubella, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Yellow fever jabs. Better safe than sorry...
2) Don't Worry About Driving
You can rent a car and drive as much as you want with your home driving license, but only for 180 days. If you expect to spend more time in Brazil you'll need to obtain a Brazilian driver’s license.
3) Don't Forget Your Visa
Up until June, Americans, Australians and citizens of Japan could not travel to Brazil without a visa. That’s changed now, but it’s always a good idea to check beforehand. A visa has to be obtained at least seven working days prior to travelling to Brazil.
4) Don't Forget Brazilian Food
Don't be one of those guys who goes straight to the nearest McDonalds. Brazilian food is so amazing you're gonna flip out. There are many things to try: Moqueca, Pão de queijo, Quindim, Açaí, Feijoada… Dish-liscious.

Some waters are polluted and can be a health risk to swim in. In other regions there are strong waves and currents, not to mention dangerous animals. Recife has a large population of bull sharks. So if you want to bathe, best ask someone first.
6) Don’t Wander into the Wilderness
Sure, there are some national parks like Tijuca, that don’t require a guide, but if you go to the Pantanal of the Amazonian Rainforest, you’ll want to hire a qualified guide!
7) Don't Flash Your Cash
Just like many other countries around the world, flashing your valuables is never a good idea. Unless of course your tired of that expensive watch you’re wearing, or fancy camera. They could vanish fairly quickly.
8) Don’t Visit All of the Favelas
Sure the favelas are an integral part of Brazil but take into account that not all of them are safe to visit. Vidigal in Rio de Janeiro may be safe, but you better forget about the rest unless you know a trusted local that will show you around.
9) Don't Lose Your Patience
In Brazil, time works at a different pace. Don't expect things to be punctual, be prepared to wait 20 or 30 minutes at least. Breath in, read a newspaper or listen to some music, but try to keep your patience.
10) Don't Lose Your Consumption Card
Some bars and nightclubs use a consumption-card system, where they take note of your food and drinks, and you'll have to show it at the end of the night. If
