Destination Advice
Passport & Entry Requirements
Passport validity, visa, ETA and arrival rules can change. Check the latest official requirements for every country on your itinerary before booking and again before departure. View current FCDO advice ↗
Health & Travel Insurance
Check recommended vaccinations, medication rules and local healthcare arrangements in good time. Comprehensive travel insurance should cover your medical needs, planned activities, cancellation and disruption.
Money & Getting Around
The local currency is Brazilian real. Confirm card acceptance, cash needs, resort charges and transfer arrangements before travelling. Your most useful arrival point is normally Rio de Janeiro GIG.
Local Laws, Customs & LGBTQIA+ Guidance
Rio has a large LGBTQIA+ community and major Pride events, but personal safety and local awareness remain important. I will use trusted suppliers and current advice. Always respect local laws and customs, including rules concerning medication, dress, alcohol and public behaviour.
Advice can change: Pride & Paradise Travel will check the latest supplier and official information when researching your enquiry.
Good to Know
Neighbourhood choice, secure transfers and everyday awareness are particularly important. Carnival and major events require very early booking.
