Money in Brazil

The currency they use in Brazil is Brazilian Real. You must indicate to your bank that you want to use your card in South America. There are several ATMs where you can withdraw cash to pay. We recommend that you withdraw at least 1000 BRL as we work with a collective pot into which everyone must contribute for food, drinks, etc.

Which kites should I take with me?

If you have your own kitesurfing equipment, we recommend that you bring it with you. This saves a lot of money because you don't have to rent one. Bring everything you have, surfboard, small sizes, large sizes etc. etc.

Food and drink

Breakfast is included and for lunch and dinner we make a communal pot and go out for a nice meal.
