How to save without missing the best bits?
- Travel in low season (April to June) or September to November, outside Brazilian holidays.
- Stay in a house with a kitchen and cook some meals: that cuts the total the most.
- Travel as a group: private tours and boats get split.
- Buy the catamaran ahead on peak dates.
Cash or card?
Both. Almost everywhere takes Pix and cards, and there are ATMs in the village. Still carry some cash: some boats and beach bars are cash-only, and when the power goes out the signal and Pix go down.
What this budget doesn't include
Flight to Salvador, travel insurance, nights in Salvador, shopping and tips.
