Average Vacation Expenses in Brazil
9.6%
— value growth in dollar since 2016
Don’t let the recent plunge fool you, the Brazilian Real has become 9.6% more valuable against the dollar over the past year. Hotel prices are propped up by high real estate prices in cities like Rio, but this South American gem places in the bottom half of all other categories in expensiveness. Travelers looking to cut some of the high hotel costs can shift spending over to Airbnb, which costs more than $100 less per night on average.
