Answer 2

I would budget about $10-$20 dollars per day depending on how much you eat and how picky you are with food.If you go to local markets and eat fruits,buy bread and cheese at a supermarket and cook pasta you will get by very easily with 10 dollars per day.Also sticking to local brands will save you lots,The imported food items tend to be expensive

Brazilian food caters for all tastes and standards are generally very high. European, North American and Asian foods are widely available in resorts and main cities. There are many traditional dishes and regional specialties, such as those developed by slaves in Bahia during the days when they had to cook scraps and anything that could be caught locally, together with coconut milk and palm oil.

Things to know: Some bars have waiters and table service. There are no licensing hours or restrictions on drinking.

National specialties:

• Feijoada (thick stew of black beans, chunks of beef, pork, sausage, chops, pigs’ ears and tails on white rice, boiled green vegetables and orange slices).

• Moqueca (delicious fish stew from Bahia)

• Vatapá (shrimps, fish oil, coconut milk, bread and rice).

• Caruru (shrimps, okra, onions and peppers).

• Churrasco (mixed grilled meat served with manioc flour).  

National drinks:

• Beer is particularly good and draught beer is called chopp. Brahma and Nova Schin are popular brands.

• The local firewater is cachaça, a spirit derived from sugar cane popular with locals. It is often mixed with sugar, crushed ice and limes to make caipirinha, a refreshing if intoxicating cocktail, and the Brazilian national drink.

• Southern Brazilian wine is of a high quality.

• Sucos (fruit juices) are freshly made at juice bars, and Guaraná is a popular fizzy drink made with energy-giving extract from an Amazonian plant.

• Coffee is available everywhere and is exceptionally good.

Legal drinking age: 18.
