if you like Cachaça (the liquor used in caiprihana), make sure to stop by a market & pick some up.

The bottles we brought back were $3-$6 a bottle in local markets yet sell in the US for $40-60 a bottle.

Besides the churrascara/Brazilian BBQ places, do yourself a favor and eat local/regional dishes, a few are discussed on this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_cuisine
