Where do I exchange CURRENCY from dollars to Brazilian reals?
A. It is best to obtain your Brazilian money before you depart for Brazil. Many banks can obtain Brazilian reals for you if you give them enough advanced notice. It is wise to check with your bank at least 2 weeks prior to departure. We have never found a money exchange in the Manaus Airport since this flight typically arrives in the middle of the night. The Sao Paulo and the Rio de Janeiro airports have currency exchange offices. Use the airport exchange offices only when time between flights permits. There are reliable taxi drivers who will take your money to the bigger cities to obtain a good exchange rate for you but you will need to pay them for their travel expenses.
