Shopping in Rio de Janeiro
There are a number of shopping malls in the city. The best is thought to be the São Conrado Fashion Mall, adjacent to the Sheraton and Inter-Continental hotels. Daring shoppers may want to visit Bum Bum (Visconde de Pirajá 437), the most popular brazilian bikini store in Rio.
Other bargains can be found at H Stern and Amsterdam Sauer (both on Visconde de Piraja), Brazil's two largest jewellers, both of which have numerous branches. Don't buy gems from other dealers; these two establishments will provide the best guarantees of authenticity and quality.

Brazil travel visa: information
Visas are required for North Americans traveling to Brazil, and are free. However, as the American and Canadian embassies charges a fee for Brazilians applying for a U.S. or Canadian visa, the Brazilian government collects monies for processing visas for North Americans to Brazil. The visa can be obtained from the nearest Brazilian embassy or consulate (click here for U.S.Brazilian Consulates addresses).
