Getting Around
The easiest and most convenient way to travel in Brazil is to fly... but it's not the cheapest. For those who want to save on travel expenses, and have the time to do it, there are a number of bus companies that operate in Brazil.
Brazil's buses are comfortable and air conditioned. They have a coach class, but for just a few dollars you can upgrade to a more luxurious bus. The most popular companies that run buses in Brazil are Electrobus and Tres Amigos. They operate mostly in Rio and Sao Paulo, the high tourist areas, but they also get to some remote areas as well.
If you plan to go all the way to Salvador or Belem in the north from Rio or Sao Paulo, it might be worthwhile to look for a cheap plane ticket. It is a 2-day drive from the southern coast to the Amazon, so be prepared if you decide to take a bus.
Places To Stay
Luckily, it is fairly easy to stay in a nice place in Brazil on a budget. A "pousada" is a family-style accommodation, kind of like a bed and breakfast, that are cheaper than major hotels. These vary widely in price, and some in the more remote areas may be slightly primitive.
For even less money, you can stay in a youth hostel, called "albeurges" in Portuguese. Often, youth hostels in Brazil come with breakfast included, and an added advantage is that you get to hang out with other backpackers and travelers from around the world.
Budget travel to Brazil is a great way to save money, and see the country. So, strap your pack on your back and get started!
