Brazil is one of the most diverse countries in the world. Within the same national border, you will find everything from paradise beaches to mountains, from forests to desertic dunes.

Brazil holds a special place in our hearts, not just because it is Fe’s home country, but because it is one of the most incredible destinations we have been to together. But don’t take our word for it, go have some caipirinhas by the beach and tell us what you think!

Rent a car in Brazil

Brazil is an enormous country so you will have to pick where to go and plan your trip carefully. If you will be traveling through destinations that are close by, we recommend renting a car if you want more freedom. If you don’t own a Brazilian driving license, then you may have to present your original license accompanied by an International Driving Permit. Keep in mind that many car rental companies may not request to see your International Permit, as it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure they are within the law.
