This is a super-duper book. I loved this book. If I ever get to Brazil, I’m taking it along.
Rating: 5 / 5
I found this book very usefull and other travellers I met thought it was better than the Lonely Planet guide. Rather confusing were the facts about bus services in some cities, but on the other hand the city transport in Brazil is confusing itself. I am a budget traveller and the book provided me enough information to save in many ways.

Rough Guides are really good. With the exception of some telephone number prefixes which changed from 3 to 4 digits in Bahia the information is very accurate. Google can solve that very quickly!

I just spend 3 weeks in Brazil. I too decided to veer from the Lonely Planet to check out a new guide. They’re all the same, right? WRONG. Rough guide is terrible for Brazil – maps are horrid, exaggerated descriptions of supposedly cool places that actually are a dump (especially for fortaleza), and simply a lack of good info (Salvador, the islands nearby/excursions; Fortaleza – beaches and routes; Sao Paulo generally with important/updated bus info and airport info). If I didn’t speak Portuguese like a goofy gringo i would have been in serious trouble. The only reason why I still have the book is because I intend to burn it when winter comes-the only true death for such an abomination.
