Absolutely. Same with the favelas – locals are safer than strangers. Incidentally, the UK government website contains specific warnings about using GPS navigation in Brazil: --------- The security situation in many favelas is unpredictable. Visiting a favela can be dangerous. Avoid all favelas, including favela tours marketed to tourists and any accommodation, restaurants or bars advertised as being within a favela. You should: – make sure the suggested route does not take you into a favela if you’re using GPS navigation – avoid entering unpaved, cobbled or narrow streets which may lead into a favela - tourists have been shot after accidentally entering favelas If you’re unsure about a location, check with your hotel or the local authorities. --------- https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/brazil/safety-and-s... |
