Food, shopping & people
Eating & drinking
Brazil is home to “superfoods” like açaí, which have actually been used by native Brazilians for centuries.Feijoada is the unofficial national dish – it‘s a cholesterol-raising stew of beef or pork trimmings, sausage and black beans. Traditionally, feijoada is prepared in a clay pot over a fire.
Cachaça is the native spirit – it’s made from sugarcane and is used to make caipirinhas, along with lime and brown sugar. For a uniquely Brazilian twist, try a “caipifruta”, made with crushed tropical fruits instead of lime.


People & language
Gifts & shopping
Brazil’s cities host several “hippie markets” including Ipanema’s Feira Hippie in General Osório square. Handmade clothing and accessories are sold here, scouts from prestigious fashion labels are known to scour the stalls.Despite a wealth of native crafts, it’s hard to find authentic items which have not been produced, poorly and cheaply, for tourists. São Paulo has several specialist shops, including Amoa Konoya (selling work by 60 tribes) and Iandé (featuring hammocks, pottery, baskets, stools and more).
If taking part in a favela tour, many include visits to craft workshops set up by NGOs as well as local artists’ studios. These ensure your money reaches those who need it most.
