BA may even pay this without too much problem. There is a guideline of £200 per room per night, and I think £25 for meals. In the Brazil context you shouldn't have a problem there, but as ever it is best to lean on the frugal side at least for some of the meals (e.g. getting lunch from a supermarket). Keep the receipts, and since it's easy to lose these when travelling, I'd take a photo on your phone for this. Ideally get a room with breakfast included, then it makes the maths and claiming easier.
