    Hello: where can I find out the prices of food, meat and drinks in Brazilian Supermarkets to evaluate if I go on vacation?
    Thank you

    Hello Daniel! I have no notion of current prices with certainty. In any case, in Argentina it is expected that this year tourism in Brazil will increase between 20% and 30% ... since the numbers are favorable for going on vacation, unlike previous years ... I think the last year was more favorable to travel was the summer of 2002 (I even traveled that summer)
