Guest Katalyst Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I am considering going to Brazil to experience the backpacker and underground psy scenes. I like tropical places, beaches, and cheap accomodation. Thailand was nice. Can anyone help me? Where should i go in Brazil? thanks very much!!

Guest Tris Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Try the area around Porto Seguro / Trancoso / Carraiva. A bit touristy during holidays but nice. And some parties on the beach from time to time. I guess there are other excellent places but that the one I know about first hand... Up north along the coast toward Salvador looks good also, for exemple. Two things I found quite difficult in Brasil : - communicating with people who mostly don't speak foreign language (Brasilian people being really friendly, it's often quite frustrating..) - changing money ($, €, traveller's...), expecially in Brasilia.

Guest Daniel Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 There are two sites that can help you about parties in Brazil: www.raveon.com.br (i think that is in english, too)- You can send them an e-mail asking about it. www.baladaplanet.com.br ( only in portuguese, but it´s the best) But, like Tris said, Trancoso is the place!! I´ve been there 3 years ago!! It was very nice!!!That place is very beautifull. Also, there are some trance festivals in the new´s year (i don´t know how to write that!!!) around São Paulo and Alto do Paraiso (near Brasilia)...you have to check at the rave on. OK!!!
