Bring plenty of jewellery. Unless you want to attract criminals, leave all your precious gems in your hotel room. Better yet, leave it at home and don’t carry anything when you’re travelling to Brazil. You have more native accessories, handcrafts that you can acquire once you’re already in the country.
