2. 01.

   GRU-EZE flights on LATAM or Aerolíneas in May/June 2026 cost R$ 2,000-3,500 round trip with baggage. Cheaper if bought 90 days ahead on Tuesdays.

3. 02.

   Brazilians need no visa — Mercosur allows 90 days with valid ID card or passport. Bring passport anyway.

4. 03.

   Paying in dollar cash (blue market) gives 20-25% discount over card. Western Union operates at MEP rate (similar to blue), legal and safer.

5. 04.

   Palermo Soho/Hollywood is where Brazilians should sleep — restaurants, bars, nightlife on foot. Recoleta is more elegant but sleeps early. San Telmo is authentic but far.

6. 05.

   Don Julio (LatAm #1 parrilla in 2020) requires booking 60 days ahead. La Cabrera is near-equivalent with shorter line.
