    Brazil is indeed a bargain, and for travellers outside the childbearing ages, a great place to spend a long weekend with little jet lag/time zone impact. Both Rio and Sao Paulo have good museums and art galleries if that’s your thing, or dining and nightlife. The economy is in a downturn (and political scene as crazy as the Republican party in the US) so high end hotels are very affordable too. Also ideal for status mileage runners, as the fares from there to North American are about half what they are from NAmerica, so easy to set up a nested ticket package. 11K-14K status miles each round trip…less than $1,000 for basic tier status, $4,000 for top tier doing eight such r/ts if one’s crazy.
