Shopping in Brazil

Shopping malls are ‘in’. It’s expensive to shop here but you get to avoid the masses. You’ll find better prices at the smaller shops. You can buy gold gemstones and diamonds all over the country. Street traders have innovative ‘junk’ jewelry. Buy lace from Ceara, leatherwork, and strange pottery from Amazonia. Bone and soapstone carvings, tiles and other ceramic work Brazilian cigars are a treat, and you could even bring home excellent textile material, and hammocks. Beachwear bought in Brazil is matchless.
